Annapolis Seminar

The annual visit to the Maryland Statehouse in Annapolis offers Fellows the opportunity to compare one model of state government to the federal system. The day-long seminar features a range of speakers from Maryland's legislative and administrative branches of government.

Offered in conjunction with the Maryland Institute for Policy Analysis & Research at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, the seminar is coordinated by the Institute's Director, Donald Norris, and Associate Director Linda Brown.

Dr. Norris holds a B.S. in History from the University of Memphis and an M.A. and a Ph.D. in government from the University of Virginia. His fields of specialization include public management, urban affairs, and the uses of information technology in the public sector. He can be reached at 410-455-1080 or e-mailed at norris@umbc.edu.
