Also In the Community... A Renewal of Support for New Americans in Maryland

In December, 2008, Governor Martin O'Malley signed an executive order to create the Maryland Council for New Americans. The council aims to help integrate new immigrants into Maryland's workforce and civic life.

Community Science's Kien Lee chairs the Governmental Access Working Group, one of four working groups within the Council. The group will focus on improving accessibility of state and local government services to new Americans, assessing necessary resources for compliance with Limited English Proficiency requirements and availability of key documents in other languages; and identifying best practices at the county, community and municipal levels.

"We will make recommendations for ways to increase immigrants and refugees' access to government, and promote and support their integration into the community," Lee said.
