Andrew Howard has been
designated by County Executive Allan H. Kittleman as the first LGBTQ+ Liaison
in the county. The purpose of this position is to ensure the county government
is accessible to the LGBTQ+ community by having a direct person to call.
“Andrew brings a great depth of empathy and
understanding to his work with my friends in the LGBTQ+ community,” Kittleman said. “As I have seen with his leadership in
coordinating the County Executive’s LGBTQ+ Roundtable, he helps put into
practice my goals of making certain that every individual in Howard County is
treated with respect and appreciation.”
Kittleman adds, “I am proud of
the progress we are making, and I’m fortunate to have Andrew working with all
of us as we move forward together.”
Howard grew up in the Valley
Mede neighborhood of Ellicott City and began his involvement in helping the
community through the Boy Scouts. He
studied Politics and Spanish at New York University, where he developed a
passion for helping others succeed by working with America Reads and the Boys
Club of New York.
Howard was a high school Spanish
teacher before joining County Executive Allan Kittleman’s team working in the Constituent
Service and Community Outreach area of the Howard County Executive staff.
“I am proud to be the first
LGBTQ+ Liaison for Howard County,” says Howard. “I’m excited to combine my work
for the community on the County Executive’s LGBTQ+ Roundtable, the HoCo Pride
Committee and the #OneHoward initiative.”
