It was announced this week that Governor Larry Hogan has appointed Ever Evolving co-founder Steve Palmer to Maryland’s Open Data Council. Established as part of Maryland’s Open Data Act, the council’s duties “are to recommend, coordinate, identify, advise, encourage, plan, promote, and advocate for Maryland’s open data.”
The goal of Maryland’s Open Data Program is to provide “…transparency so that businesses, residents, visitors, and civil servants can use state data to aid in decision making.” And that’s exactly where Steve is excited to support.
Mr. Palmer states, “Data is a vital component to so many organizations. And because of its importance, I love what Maryland is trying to accomplish with its Open Data Portal. I look forward to supporting their goals and mission to the best of my ability in whatever way I can. And I look forward to earning the trust that Governor Hogan and the State of Maryland have placed in me.”
The appointment letter provided by Governor Hogan can be found in its entirety below.
