NEW INFORMATION
Board Vacancies
Applications and nominations for the Maryland Board of Morticians and Funeral Directors are being accepted for:
- 4 Practitioners (Licensed Mortician or Funeral Director)
Interested candidates should carefully review all membership criteria and the time commitment noted in the attachments before applying. Applicants are responsible for ensuring that all application documents are submitted.
The 650+ boards/commissions that require appointments by the Governor oversee virtually every profession in Maryland–from doctors to plumbers help shape policy in critical issue areas–education reform, climate change, etc. span 6,000+ of members, the vast majority of them volunteers have unique statutory requirements that govern membership and service operate largely under the public radar. 1/3 of these boards have seats that require Senate confirmation. These appointments happen mostly during the legislative session: January-April. Appointments to the remaining 2/3 of boards happen mostly during the legislative recess: May-December.
Board and commission service is vital to the operations of our state government, and the Moore-Miller Administration is extremely grateful for the board and commission members, the vast majority of whom do this work as volunteers, and the work they do to support Marylanders in all facets of work and life.
Board service comes with some requirements–some universal, and some specific to the board. Each board has unique statutory requirements, some of them very complex, so eligibility for board service varies from board to board. See board statutes here.
Applicants being considered for appointment to a board:
- are vetted
- may be asked to submit an Appointee Exemption Disclosure form with the State Ethics Commission
Once appointed, some appointees will be required to take an oath and be sworn in by the clerk of their local courthouse. Information re: board meeting frequency and location is provided by board Executive Directors once individuals are appointed.
All interested applicants are required to submit a formal application through the Governor’s Appointments Office website at: http://govappointments.maryland.gov/
