Almond Named Vice President at MACo

Baltimore County Council Chairwoman Vicki Almond was elected a vice president for the Women of MACo, a bipartisan group that mentors and encourages women to run for public office, a spokesman for her office said.

Almond, who represents Owings Mills and Reisterstown, was one of three vice presidents elected Thursday for the organization during the winter meeting of the Maryland Association of Counties in Cambridge, said Jonathan Schwartz, Almond's senior assistant.

Schwartz was not immediately certain what Almond's duties as vice president would entail.

MACo is a non-profit and non-partisan organization that articulates the needs of local government to the Maryland General Assembly, its website said. Elected officials and representatives from Maryland's 23 counties and Baltimore City make up the association.
