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. 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.
In 1968, the Governor's Committee co-sponsored legislation resulting
in a law and regulations establishing standards of facilities for the
handicapped in all public buildings in Maryland. The Committee has
as a project the constant dissemination of information regarding the
regulations and their enforcement. In 1969, the Committee printed
and distributed an up-to-date Handbook, Guide for Action, to members,
In 1971 and 1972, funds for the work of the Committee were pro-
vided by the State Department of Education, Division of Vocational
Rehabilitation, in the amount of approximately $26,000.
