This week has been one of Montgomery Colleges busiest times for budget advocacy. On Monday evening the College had an impressive turnout at the Councils hearing on our operating budget. Several of our faculty, staff, and student leaders delivered testimony that night, as did Board Chair Dr. Michael Lin, Foundation Board Chair Doug Firstenberg, and Alumni Association Board member Lon Anderson.
I want to also thank everyone who attended the meeting to show their support for the College. I truly believe that every person really can make a difference at this time of the year. Whether you are speaking, attending, or even writing your councilmember, you can help MC!
This week, the Colleges senior administrators joined me and members of the Board of Trustees in individual meetings with the members of the County Councils Education Committee. We took the opportunity to raise our concerns about the County Executives proposed budget.
Also, this week, we participated in the Education Committee work session, which involved a review of our budget. These meetings are very important because the committee is tasked with recommending the funding for the College for consideration by the entire Council. The committee will make its recommendations to the full Council very soon. The Council will vote on the County operating budget in mid-May.
As the Maryland General Assembly winds down, I would like to thank our Montgomery County state delegation for supporting two important capital projects for the College the funding for furniture and equipment for the Rockville Science Center and the remaining construction funding for the Germantown Bioscience Center.
While the Colleges budget has remained my primary focus, I also continue to stay involved with the life sciences industry. Maryland Governor Martin OMalley recently reappointed me to a second term on the Maryland Life Sciences Advisory Board. The chair of the board is Human Genome Sciences CEO Tom Watkins, who is a big supporter of Montgomery College.
Just this week, County Executive Ike Leggett invited me, Tom Watkins, and other county leaders to a special dinner, where we discussed a very important step that Montgomery County is taking to support the local life sciences industry. More specifically, we discussed how to implement the special Bioscience Task Force plan that was released last December.
This week, I also had the pleasure of speaking at the opening session of the Colleges sixth annual Arab American Heritage Month. Congresswoman Donna Edwards attended the kick-off event, and I was honored to welcome her to the Rockville campus.
On Thursday evening I also had the pleasure of joining the Colleges Board of Trustees as we met the Montgomery County Public Schools Board of Education for our bi-annual dinner. It was a wonderful opportunity to discuss our many successful partnerships and programs.
Finally, today, I will join other community college presidents across the state for our monthly meeting in Annapolis at the Maryland Association of Community Colleges. We plan to discuss the states workforce development and other needs with the associations executive director, Clay Whitlow. I also plan to talk to my fellow community college presidents about the budget challenges we all face.
Again, thanks to all of you for your support for all our budget advocacy efforts. As soon as learn more about the county budget, you can be sure that I will share it with all of you.
Thank you for your continuing support.
