Governor Hogan announced this week that Maryland will enter Phase 2 of the state’s vaccine distribution plan on March 23. Citing the accelerated vaccination rate and anticipated increase in vaccine supply from the federal government, the governor announced – among a slew of new distribution initiatives - that all Marylanders age 16 and older would be eligible for the vaccine by April 27. Conduit Street has your coverage on all the new developments.
SPOTLIGHT ON LEADERSHIP

We can learn a lot about team development from the politician Henry Boyle. He said, “The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people halfway.” Perhaps more accurately, you must be willing to meet people where they are. For some, that may be halfway. For others, it may be a lot farther than you’d like to travel. But make the trip anyway; if you don’t, that person or those people will never live up to your expectations of them...Work with people from where they are, not where you want them to be.
