Join us for a conversation with Marc Elrich, Montgomery County Executive. He has been focused on an overarching vision of making Montgomery County a more equitable and inclusive place to live and work. Since becoming County Executive he has launched the Early Care Initiative – to provide more access to pre-k education to improve kindergarten readiness; signed the landmark Racial Equity and Social Justice Bill, making Montgomery County the first County in Maryland to do so; launched our 4Business Initiative; opened small business resource centers around the county; and reformed our procurement process, adding a preference for local business, and making it more transparent and user-friendly. He has also undertaken an extensive process to engage residents and experts in addressing climate change. More recently, he has begun a Reimagining Public Safety task force with a diverse group of community members. Since March he has been addressing the pandemic and the many consequences for businesses, residents, and workers.
County Executive Elrich previously served three terms (12 years) on the Montgomery County Council as an at-large member, first elected in 2006. He served as a Councilmember on the Takoma Park City Council from 1987 to 2006. For 17 years, he was a teacher at Rolling Terrace Elementary School in Takoma Park.
