A draft agenda for state, Annapolis and Anne Arundel County elected officials’ trip to Sweden at the end of September includes meetings with Swedish leaders, cycling tours and reviews of electric ferries.

The 17-person delegation, composed of representatives from the state departments of commerce and natural resources, Anne Arundel County, the City of Annapolis, Anne Arundel County Economic Development Corporation, Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County, and the Resilience Authority will leave Sept. 28. There will be stops in Stockholm and Gothenburg before returning Oct. 5, according to Matt Fleming, executive director of the Resilience Authority of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County.

In Stockholm, Sweden’s capital city, the delegation is slated to visit the Stockholm Environmental Institute to learn about sustainable cities and tour an electric passenger ferry factory, among other site visits and meetings with government leaders, according to a draft agenda shared with the Capital Gazette.

The delegation also plans to spend time in Gothenburg, Sweden’s second largest city, to meet with government officials and learn about climate neutral construction, electric charging of leisure boats, ferry planning and other types of transportation.

The group is aiming to use public transportation, carpools and bicycles as much as possible throughout the weeklong trip, said Fleming. The total cost of the trip, how planning it arose, why so many local officials are attending and other specific details about the delegation were not answered by deadline.

Members of the delegation include:

Kevin Anderson, Maryland Secretary of Commerce

David Goshorn, Deputy Secretary of Natural Resources

Steuart Pittman, Anne Arundel County Executive

Christine Anderson, Anne Arundel County chief administrative officer

Janssen Evelyn, Anne Arundel County deputy administrative officer

Chris Trumbauer, Anne Arundel County senior policy advisor

Samuel Snead, Anne Arundel County transportation director

Lisa Rodvien, Anne Arundel County Council member

Gavin Buckley, Mayor of Annapolis

Rob Savidge, Annapolis City Council alderman

DaJuan Gay, Annapolis City Council alderman

Eric Leshinsky, City of Annapolis chief of comprehensive planning

Chris Jakubiak, City of Annapolis director of planning and zoning

Julien Jacques, communication and digital services for the City of Annapolis

Matt Fleming, resiliency authority director of the Resilience Authority of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County

Kristen Pironis, executive director of Visit Annapolis and Anne Arundel County

Amy Gowan, chief executive officer of Anne Arundel County Economic Development Corporation

Funding for the trip comes through private donations from the MHE Foundation and the Denker Foundation, both of which have a history of “stimulating and shaping ideas locally around complex challenges such as climate change and resource conservation and forging partnerships and sparking thinking across traditional disciplines and sectors,” Fleming said.

The Denker Foundation contributed $25,000 toward the upcoming trip to Sweden, according to Patrick Denker, whose father started the foundation. The foundation contributed $20,000 to Annapolis officials’ trip to the Netherlands last year.

In a phone call Thursday evening, Denker, who will join the delegation in Sweden, said he is excited about the potential Chesapeake Bay ferry system, adding that it would be “very positive economic development” for Annapolis, Baltimore and the Eastern Shore.

A call to the MHE Foundation was not returned.
