Anne Arundel County Local Management Board for Children, Youth and Families (LMB)

The Mission of the LMB is to provide leadership that creates opportunities for all children and their families in Anne Arundel County to achieve their full potential.

Who are we?

LMB funded activities are driven by the needs outlined in a comprehensive Community Needs Assessment that is updated every three years. The current areas of focus include:

• Prevention Service
• Mental Health Services
• School Completion
• Outcomes, Measures, and Evaluation
• Community Resourcing

By design, LMBs do not provide traditional "direct services" to individual clients but instead work with citizens, public agencies, private organizations, and community groups to expand existing resources and develop new and innovative services. Appointed by the County Executive, each Board Member serves a four year term. The Anne Arundel County Local Management Board (LMB) membership includes:

• Anne Arundel County Public Schools
• Department of Social Services
• Department of Juvenile Services
• Department of Health/Mental Health
• Anne Arundel County Mental Health Agency, Inc. (Core Service Agency)
• Anne Arundel County Government
• Anne Arundel County Police Department
• Private Citizens
• Public Sector
• Community Non-Profit

The Board Members are appointed by the County Executive for a term not to exceed four (4) years. Private citizens, service providers and parents of children with special needs comprise up to 49% of the membership.
