In June 1984, the Governor created this com-
mission to administer the Maryland Executive Fel-
lows Program (Executive Order 01.01.1984.05).
In 1986, the Program and Commission became
part of the Office on Volunteerism (Chapter 13,
Acts of 1986).

The Maryland Executive Fellows Program is a
new partnership between State government and
the private sector. It affords the opportunity for a
select group of professionals from Maryland busi-
ness and industrial firms, colleges and universities,
the professions, and the arts to work at the highest
levels of State government. The State officials for
whom Executive Fellows work receive the benefit
of the talent, insight, and creative perspective
brought to the affairs of State by these people.

The Commission advises on recruitment, selec-
tion, and placement of Executive Fellows. It ap-
points a selection panel to recommend candidates
from whom the Commission chooses Fellows. Fel-
lows begin rheir one-year assignments annually on
Julyl.
