OFFICERS AND COMMITTEE CHAIRS

Montgomery County Civic Federation, Inc.

×

Do you have knowledge in a field or are passionate about an issue?

Think about putting that interest to use for your neighbors!

The Montgomery County Civic Federation needs you!  We’re always on the lookout for people with expertise in areas that impact our County.  Are you a policy wonk or like parsing data?  Do you hate to see elected officials not keeping their promises or even breaking the rules?  Are you fascinated by a particular aspect of life in Monty, whether it’s the environment, the public education system, utilities, bus service, or wasteful county spending?  You’re the sort of person we love!  You could be tremendously useful to the people of Montgomery County.

The elected Board, appointed officers, and chairs of committees are all unpaid positions.  These volunteers serve in order to improve the quality of life for all residents of Montgomery County.  A term of office runs two years, from July through June.

MCCF Officers and Committees (2025 – 2026)
