The Governor appointed the members of

der because of the large and growing num-
ber of Spanish-speaking people in Maryland

to plan and evaluate programs, policy and
legislation relating to the Spanish-speaking
population in Maryland. The Commission
consists of fifteen members appointed by
the Governor with the advice of the Secre-
tary of Human Resources. Members serve
at the pleasure of the Governor. One mem-
ber is designated as Chairman by the Gov-
ernor and serves as such during his full
term of office as member. Members serve
without compensation but are reimbursed
for their actual expenses incurred in the
performance of their duties. |
The Commission evaluates present pro-
grams and services of the State government
as these directly affect the Spanish-speaking
population of Maryland, and for planning
new programs to meet presently unmet
needs of Hispanics in the State The results
of such planning and evaluation functions
are forwarded with recommendations for
action to the Secretary of Human Resources,
as well as an annual report of activities and
the general status of the Spanish-speaking
population of Maryland.
