In the program’s second segment, Jennifer Brandt and Andrés Ovalle will discuss Latino Conservation Week, an initiative of the Hispanic Access Foundation hosted by Montgomery Parks that provides the Latino community and others opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, learn about conservation efforts and demonstrate their support for protecting the County’s natural resources.
The Montgomery County Council and Radio America have entered a partnership that provides the Latino community with key information on issues and programs. The partnership also provides a forum for residents to express views and ask questions. The partnership includes the weekly one-hour show each Friday on the Washington metropolitan area’s most popular Spanish language station. Lilian Mass is the show’s host.
Each week, the show features guests talking about important issues before the Council and provides information about programs offered by the County to help residents.
Video links with a summary of the show are available each week at the County Council's mobile friendly web site at: www.montgomerycountymd.gov/council .
