"Message from Governor Martin O'Malley
Dear Friends,
On May 14, 2009 I signed an executive order to establish the Governor's Commission on African Affairs to effectively address the concerns of the African community.
Diversity is one of Maryland's greatest strengths. For this reason I believe it is important to recognize the African community which plays a vital role in moving the State forward. By identifying and addressing issues in the African Diaspora, I am confident that this Commission will help strengthen and grow our One Maryland.
As we make steady progress in our One Maryland, I will rely on the Governor's Commission on African Affairs to help expand opportunities for the growing African community in business, employment, education and many other areas.
Sincerely,
Martin O'Malley" (Excerpt from the Governor's Commission)
Lady Kate wishes to thank all her supporters, mentors, patrons, sponsors, family and friends for their support and encouragement over the years. In her new position as Commissioner she is hoping to make a positive difference in the lives of Marylanders and Africans across the United States of America.
