| Your Position/Job Title | Board member |
| Appointee | Ruby Lopez Harper |
| Explaination | AHCMC receives an annual operating support grant amounting to roughly $200,000; they also received a one-time ARPA grant in the amount of $900,000.
Because of my role as a board member, I understand that there is a conflict of interest and would be required to recuse myself from conversations related to their application for support or recommendations related to such activity. Disclosing of such conflicts is also a common practice as a grant panelist when I have worked with other grantmaking entities.
However, because this is an annual grant, I believe it will not interfere with my overall duty as a board member for the Maryland State Arts Council. |
