The Local Management Board (LMB) was established during the mid-1990’s in an effort to change the way services were provided to children and families in their communities. The LMB identifies priorities and targets resources within the Garrett County community with a focus to increase local authority to plan, implement, and monitor children and family services.
The LMB serves as the coordinator of collaboration for child and family services. They bring together local child-serving agencies, local child providers, clients of services, families, and other community representatives to empower local stakeholders in addressing the needs of and setting priorities for their communities.
Improving results for children, youth, and families is the goal of all Local Management Board activities. Maryland established eight Child Well-Being Results, and all LMB programs, initiatives, and partnerships are devoted to ensuring the following:
Babies Born Healthy*
Healthy Children*
Children Enter School Ready to Learn *
Children are Successful in School
Youth will Complete School
Communities are Safe for Children, Youth, and Families*
Youth Have Opportunities for Employment or Career Readiness
Families are Economically Stable*
*Denotes Result area prioritized by Garrett County
Vision: Assure the availability of quality care, service, and education through a collective voice for children, youth, and families.
Mission: Promote a stable, safe, and healthy environment for children, youth, and families through local partners.
