| Interest to be Exempted | The Nature Conservancy submits an application annually, as a sponsor of the Nanticoke Rural Legacy area, for funding to purchase easements on lands within the Rural Legacy Area. If appointed to the Rural Legacy Board Advisory Committee, I would recuse myself from any financial award decisions for The Nature Conservancy, the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy, and the Conservation Fund to prevent conflicts of interest. |

| Explaination | Without the exemption, there's a potential conflict of interest in serving on the board due to my relationships with the aforementioned organizations. I believe my skill set would prove useful on the Advisory Committee, but I would not want to jeopardize the program by showing financial favoritism when it's time to award sponsors their Rural Legacy grant. |
