The Fort Bend County Spanish Language Advisory Group will hold its next meeting at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 15 in the conference room of the county’s Rosenberg Annex, 4520 Reading Road.

 

Among the items top be discussed will be voter outreach efforts planned for this year’s Fort Bend County Fair.

 

The mission of the Spanish Language Advisory Group is to provide voters of Hispanic origin who have limited English proficiency the information, materials and assistance needed to access the electoral process. The group has been particularly focused on recruitment of bi-lingual election workers.

 

Although the group’s charter provides for appointment of 14 members, the meetings, and participation in the group, are open to the public. 

 

Current members of the group include Manuel Reyes, Thelma Shelton, Felicita Arriaga, Johanna Compean, Ronald Castillo, Manuela Arroyos, Sylvia Garza, Laura Muñoz, Haydee Carvallo, Ken Stubbe, Ted Garcia and Robert Jimenez.
