Public Service Recognition Week is the first week of May, and BCFPE honors all of our members this week and every week for their service to the County and their communities. Public Employees are "Always Getting The Job Done"!

BCFPE also extends an invitation to all Pay Schedule 1 Members and Prospective Members to stop by the union office May 3rd thru May 5th from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., to pick up a complimentary meal voucher coupon for the Towson Mediterranean Grill located across the hall from the union office.

Your union urges you to support one of our own, Danielle Singley, for the employee elected member position on the Personnel and Salary Advisory Board for Baltimore County. Singley has worked for the county for a decade, and in her time she has worked shoulder-to-shoulder with other county employees to deliver high quality service from the Department of Aging. We expect the ballots will be mailed out at the beginning of May, so be on the lookout for your ballot at home. Click through to read more about Danielle and for a video message from her.
