The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) is seeking applicants for two expiring terms on its Board of Ethics (Board). The Board is comprised of three regular members and an alternate member. The expiring terms are: 1) one regular Board member, to be nominated by the WSSC Commissioners from Prince George’s County; and 2) one alternate Board member, to be nominated by the WSSC Commissioners from either Montgomery or Prince George’s counties. Board members serve three-year terms or until a successor is appointed.
The Board administers the WSSC Code of Regulations, Code of Ethics (Code), issues advisory opinions, responds to requests for waivers of Code prohibitions, acts on complaints, and periodically reviews the adequacy of the Code. The qualifications for members of the Board of Ethics are professionalism, integrity, and competence. A background in workplace ethics is preferred.
The Board generally meets from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month at WSSC’s Richard G. Hocevar Building, 14501 Sweitzer Lane, Laurel, Maryland 20707, but that date is subject to change. Additional meeting dates are required to conduct hearings on complaints. Each Board member receives a $400 stipend for each regular monthly meeting attended and a $100 stipend for each day a hearing is conducted.
