Prince George’s County Seeks Volunteers for Spending Affordability Committee

The five-member panel makes recommendations to the County Executive, County Council, and the Office of Management and Budget regarding spending affordability and ways to improve the County’s budgetary procedures and policies. The ideal volunteers will have accounting and budget experience.
