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 the salaries of the Executive Secretary, a clerk-typist, promotional materials, stationery and print- ing, postage, contest prizes, expansion of local programs, and con- ferences. The Governor's Committee functions primarily as an educational and public relations instrument to create a public awareness of the problems faced by handicapped individuals in finding employment; to cooperate with all groups, public and private, in promoting services for the handicapped; and to initiate and promote programs to stimu- late 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 Governor's Committee acts as liaison between the President's Com- mittee and local committees. To coordinate the program and to keep committees informed on State and national activities, a monthly news- letter goes out to each member in the State. Each year the committee sponsors and poster contests among high school juniors and seniors as a means of arousing public awareness of the issues inherent in the rehabilitation program for Maryland's disabled citizens. An annual Awards program recognizes outstanding employees, citizens, and handicapped individuals in the State.
