The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) is seeking applicants to fill one expired term on its Board of Ethics (Board). The Board is comprised of three regular members and an alternate member. The current opening is for one regular Board member, to be nominated by a WSSC Commissioner from either Montgomery or Prince George’s counties.

Each Board member receives a stipend for each monthly meeting attended and hearing days.
