We hope that what you learn here today will enable you to work together to develop and design school linked health services that meet the needs ofyour children, your families, and your community. It is myvision that Maryland will have a comprehensive and coordinated service delivery system that offers all families the services and assistance they need to prevent or minimize health problems and to promote the development - physically, mentally, and emotionally - ofchildren, youth and families. This system should be determined locally, involve public and private partners, be family-focused, and recognize and respect diverse ethnic and cultural strengths and needs. I strongly believe that healthy families maintain healthy communities. I am joined by Ancelmo Lopes, Honorary Chairperson, in expressing sincere apprecia­ tion ofyour participation in today's Summit.

The responsibilities of the position have changed and duties have been expanded and diversified. Similarly, the MACo staff has grown, from the charter staff of Executive Secretary Lovelace and a stenographer, to the seven staff members who serve the organization today. Each Executive Director has not only redefined the position, but, along with his or her staff, has helped to shape and develop MACo itself. Robert Lovelace As discussed in the previous chapter, Robert Lovelace, a former city manager, began his duties with the Association upon the establishment of the Symons Hall office beginning June 1, 1960. Per the agreement with the University of Maryland, he joined their staff as a lecturer in American Government. As the first Executive Secretary, as it was then called, Lovelace set the pace and provided a basic structure for those that would come after him. As is the case today, in 1960 the SACCOM Board was made up of county officials for whom Association service was only one aspect of their responsibilities; Lovelace was the first person involved with the organization that could focus wholly on its development.

  • A Guide to the Records of the Mayor and City Council at the Baltimore City Archives
    Governing Baltimore: A Guide to the Records of the Mayor and City Council at the Baltimore City Archives William G. LeFurgy, Susan Wertheimer David, and Richard J. Cox Baltimore City Archives and Records Management Office Department of Legislative Reference 1981 Table of Contents Preface i History of the Mayor and City Council 1 Scope and Content 3 Series Descriptions 5 Bibliography 18 Appendix: Mayors of Baltimore 19 Index 20 1 Preface Sweeping changes occurred in Baltimore society, commerce, and government during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From incorporation in 1796 the municipal government's evolution has been indicative of this process. From its inception the city government has been dominated by the mayor and city council. The records of these chief administrative units, spanning nearly the entire history of Baltimore, are among the most significant sources for this city's history. This guide is the product of a two year effort in arranging and describing the mayor and city council records funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. These records are the backbone of the historical records of the municipal government which now total over three thousand cubic feet and are available for researchers. The publication of this guide, and three others available on other records, is preliminary to a guide to the complete holdings of the Baltimore City Archives scheduled for publication in 1983. During the last two years many debts to individuals were accumulated. First and foremost is my gratitude to the staff of the NHPRC, most especially William Fraley and Larry Hackman, who made numerous suggestions regarding the original proposal and assisted with problems that appeared during the project.

  • State Highway Patrols-Their Functions and Financing
    State Highway Patrols-Their Functions and Financing EDWARD A. GLADSTONE and THOMAS W. COOPER, U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, Office of Planning •CONCERN FOR the safety of the motoring public, and the importance of the state police organizations in enforcing traffic and safety laws, was voiced by the governors of most of the 47 states in which the legislatures met in regular session in 1965. In state after state the governor's message emphasized highway safety and pointed to the need for additional highway patrol troops to curb highway accidents and fatalities. In at least 30 states requests were made for an increase in patrol strength, either by the governor, by legislative committees, or by safety agencies. Collectively, specific requests were made in 21 states for nearly 3, 800 troopers to be added to the patrol strength within the next onP. to four years. A summary of the requests (as of mid-1965) is given in Table 1. If approved, these requests would increase patrol strength by an average of 23 percent.
