WSSC BOARD OF ETHICS OPENINGS 

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) is seeking applicants to fill two expired terms on its Board of Ethics (Board). 

The Board is comprised of three regular members and an alternate member. The current openings are for one regular Board member, to be nominated by the WSSC Commissioners from Prince George's County, and for the alternate member to be nominated by a WSSC Commissioner from either Montgomery or Prince George’s counties. Board members serve three-year terms or until a successor is appointed. 

The Board administers the WSSC Code of Regulations and Code of Ethics (Code), issues advisory opinions, responds to requests for waivers of Code prohibitions, acts on complaints, and periodically reviews the adequacy of the Code. The qualifications for members of the Board of Ethics are professionalism, integrity and competence. A background in workplace ethics is preferred. The Board generally meets from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month at WSSC’s Richard G. Hocevar Building, 14501 Sweitzer Lane, Laurel, Maryland 20707, but that date and time is subject to change. Each Board member receives a $200 stipend for each regular monthly meeting attended.

Please send letters of interest and resumes to the WSSC, Attn: General Counsel’s Office, 12th Floor, 14501 Sweitzer Lane, Laurel, Maryland, 20707.
