Meet the New County Executive at AACC This Month

Anne Arundel County Executive Laura Neuman is scheduled to speak at Anne Arundel Community College in a joint event hosted by several local citizens groups.

Local residents are invited to attend a speech by Neuman at AACC on May 22 in Arnold where the executive will lay out her priorities for the next fiscal year. Neuman will also host a question and answer session after her presentation.

The event is being hosted by the Broadneck Council of Communities, the Arnold Preservation Council and the Greater Severna Park Council, and will take place at 7 p.m. May 22 in the Florestano Building lecture hall at AACC's Arnold campus.

Neuman became the county's executive in February after being chosen by the Anne Arundel County Council to serve out the remainder of the term for former executive John R. Leopold, who resigned.

Since becoming the executive, Neuman has been overhauling county departments and recently outlined her plans for the 2014 fiscal year budget. Before becoming executive, Neuman was the CEO of the Howard County Economic Development Authority. She was selected by the Anne Arundel County Council from among 15 contenders for the position.
