Message from Chair of Montco Commissioners
Letter of Congratulations for 12th-grade Students, from Commissioner Jamila Winder
June 2024
Dear Graduate:
Congratulations on this incredible milestone: your graduation!
As Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners, I applaud you for being a wonderful representative of everything our county has to offer. I encourage you to enjoy this moment and reflect on your journey so far. What you have achieved is commendable; you should feel very proud.
This may feel like a crossroads, as you step out of the familiar surroundings of school and move into the next stage of your life. No matter where the future takes you—entrance into the working world, public service, further education, all or none of the above—don’t forget to carry with you the social and civic bonds you forged over the last few years.
Always stay active and invested in your community. Make sure you register to vote, stay informed, and give back when you can. Whether you volunteer your time, share your knowledge with others, or strive for leadership, the future of our world depends on you and what you put into it.
Finally, wherever you go, be sure to demonstrate your Montco pride! This community is rooting for you. I believe in your ability to achieve greatness for yourself, and for the world around you.
Sincerely,
Jamila H. Winder
Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners
