MCJC SGA
Legislative Affairs
What We Do
The role of the Legislative Affairs Department is to monitor the development of legislation related to education and youth issues under consideration by the Board of Education, the County Council, and the Maryland General Assembly, to propose positions on said issues, to draft testimony on said issues for presentation in the appropriate forums, and to coordinate MCJC lobbying and testimony efforts. We also advise the President on procedural rules during all General Assembly and Executive Board meetings and maintain the General Assembly and Executive Board legislative chart.
Director Bios
Hi everyone! I’m Serena Lee, a rising 8th grader at Westland Middle School. Through my 6 years of student advocacy, my passion for it has only grown stronger, and I’m looking forward to working with you all! As a Legislative Affairs Director, I will be working to ensure that student voices are heard in county and state governments by developing MCJC bill stances, organizing testimony drives, and promoting more opportunities for students to share their opinions on important issues. Outside of student advocacy, I enjoy reading, playing tennis, piano, and violin.
My name is Brooke Whitney and I am a rising 8th grader at Herbert Hoover. I like pigs and playing the drums.
