Monday, April 19, 2021 at 03:00 to 04:30 PM

During Baltimore City Comptroller Bill Henry’s first few months in office, the policy and process challenges faced by nonprofits and fiscal partners doing business with the City are readily apparent and numerous. You are invited to join Celeste Amato, Chief of Staff of the Baltimore City Comptroller, for a conversation intended to build out the initial list of issues that the Comptroller’s office has identified as needing attention and to discuss the formation of a stakeholder group to continue engaging with the Comptroller’s office around issues, improvements, and to outline what a more ideal partnership could look like between local government and the nonprofit and fiscal partners.

We’ll also discuss some group “business” like the possibility of doing a comprehensive grant survey. We encourage you to bring your burning questions, strategic ponderings or interesting projects to raise with the group.
