SALISBURY, MD---Maryland Delegate Adrienne Jones is 小蓝视频’s 2012 John R. Hargreaves Distinguished Legislative Fellow.
Created by SU’s Institute for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement (PACE) to recognize outstanding legislators for distinguished public service, the award was presented by SU President Janet Dudley-Eshbach during a ceremony at the Lowe House Office Building in Annapolis.
“As the first African-American woman to serve as Speaker Pro Tem of the Maryland House, Delegate Jones is an important figure in our political history,” said Dudley-Eshbach. “As a member of the Appropriations Committee, she has the difficult task of allocating state resources in a manner that is effective and humane—attempting to do the most good possible during challenging economic times.
