Eutaw Street, Baltimore 21201 Telephone: 728-5900 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, ana 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 ana promote programs to stimu- late hiring the handicapped. Regional and local meetings are held particularly in conjunction with National Employ the Handicapped Week. To reach all sections of the State, twenty-four local committees have been organized, one in each county ana 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 bi-monthly newsletter goes out to each member in the State. Each year the com- mittee sponsors poster contests among high school juniors and seniors as a means of arousing public awareness of the issues inher- ent in the rehabilitation program for Maryland's disabled citizens. An annual Awards program recognizes outstanding employees, citizens, and handicapped individuals in the State. |
