Laurel, Md. – June 20, 2017 – WSSC’s monthly Commission meeting is taking place on Wednesday, June 21, at WSSC’s Laurel headquarters starting at 10 a.m. Each month, WSSC Commissioners hold a public meeting to review contracts, policies and receive updates on major agency initiatives. All meetings are open to the public and livestreamed.
Wednesday’s meeting includes the selection of a new WSSC Commission chair and vice chair. As the commissioners vote to elect new leadership for the upcoming fiscal year, they also will recognize outgoing Chair Fausto Bayonet for his leadership over the past year.
