The Governor's Committee to Promote Employment of the Handi-
capped was established by the Governor in 1947 in response to a
request by the President of the United States. The Governor appoints
the chairman and committee members, and all serve without compen-
sation. Committee funds are used for promotional materials, station-
ery and printing, postage, editorial services, contest prizes, expansion
of local programs, and conferences.

The Governor's Committee functions primarily as an educational and
public relations instrument to create a public awareness of the prob-
lems faced by handicapped individuals in finding employment; to co-
operate with all groups, public and private, in promoting services for
the handicapped; and to initiate and promote programs to stimulate
hiring the handicapped.

To reach all sections of the State, twenty-four local committees have
been organized, one in each county and one in Baltimore. The Gover-
nor's Committee acts as liaison between the President's Committee and
local committees. To coordinate the program and to keep committees
informed on State and national activities, a monthly newsletter goes
out to each member in the State. Each year the committee sponsors
essay and poster contests among high school juniors and seniors as a
means of arousing public awareness of the issues inherent in the re-
habilitation program for Maryland's disabled citizens.
