COUNTY COUNCIL CONVENES 2019 ANNUAL RETREAT
The Prince George’s County Council convened its 2019 Annual Retreat “Service. Community. Progress,” January 7-8, 2019, at The Hotel at the University of Maryland, in College Park. The Council Retreat is an open meeting and the public is invited to attend.
Council Chair Turner said the retreat offered an important opportunity for Council Members to set the tone for a successful Legislative Year. “Taking time to come together, explore the work ahead, and share our ideas and priorities was very important for this new 11-member body. ‘Service. Community. Progress,’ is the theme for this Legislative Year, and served as the focus for our Council Retreat. We will continue to build on this in our continued service to County residents.”
