Meet your local management board ahead of MACo's Winter Conference!
The Maryland Association of Local Management Boards (LMBs) is hosting a social networking event for county leaders and officials ahead of the 2023 MACo Winter Conference in Cambridge. Local Management Boards are active in all 24 of Maryland's counties and perform a variety of critical roles to support Maryland children and families. Working closely with county government, there are ample opportunities to partner and better serve your communities.
Established in the 1990s, Local Management Boards (LMBs) are quasi-authorities of local government. LMBs empower local authorities to plan, implement, and monitor service programs for organizations that serve youth and families.
Active in each jurisdiction, the boards collaborate with local stakeholders and agencies to support many aspects of child and family services, including reducing the impact of incarceration on communities, reducing youth homelessness and child hunger, and preventing out-of-state residential placements.
Each county has an LMB, but models vary. In some counties, LMBs are functions of local government, in others, the LMB responsibilities are contracted out to local nonprofits, while others operate a hybrid of the two.
Join your local LMB for a pre-conference social!
- When: Tuesday, December 5, 4:30 pm - 6 pm
- Where:411 A Dorchester Ave, Cambridge, MD 21613
- Who: LMBs, county elected officials, and local leadership
