Advisory board seats new members

Fishman, who lives in the Silver Spring neighborhood of Forest Estates, previously served as vice chairman and led the board's transportation committee. A Silver Spring resident since 1974, he has been active in educational and civic affairs, having served as coordinator for the Albert Einstein High School Cluster and vice president of administration for the Montgomery County Council of Parent-Teacher Associations. He also served as president of the Forest Estates Community Association.

"I want to sustain and build on the record that MCCAB has had and my goal is to improve the communication so we can offer better advice to the county executive," Fishman said, listing the following as top priorities: tap into the diversity of the midcounty, relay ideas on how to improve Georgia Avenue and mitigate the impact of construction of the Intercounty Connector, were among his top priorities.

"It's an opportunity to be an additional ear for the county."

Matt Zaborsky of Olney was elected vice chairman of the board. Zaborsky is executive vice president of the Greater Olney Civic Association, vice president of the Norbeck Meadows Civic Association and represents the association on the Montgomery County Civic Federation. He was a co-founder of the Olney Farmers and Artists Market and currently serves as its treasurer.

The advisory board represents residents and businesses in the areas of Upper Rock Creek, Wheaton, Kensington, Kemp Mill, Aspen Hill, Glenmont, Norbeck, Forest Glen, Olney, Brookeville and Sandy Spring. The board meets 7 p.m. the third Thursday of the month (excluding August) at the Mid-County Regional Services Center, 2424 Reedie Drive, Wheaton. Meetings are open to the public.
