“MACo’s Summer Conference is my favorite event every year,” said MACo President and Talbot County Council Member Laura Everngam-Price. “It brings together the best of the best from around our state to work on learning from the past year and planning for the year ahead. This strengthens our relationships locally and with state leaders, enabling us to collectively solve problems facing Marylanders every day.”
