verted funds to a family member.”

She denies all of those allegations and claims that after she ended sexual harassment of a junior employee by a senior staff member earlier this year, that unidentified senior staff member began working with Clark to undermine Del Signore and push for her removal.

The lawsuit goes on to claim that while a member of the board, Clark “made sexual passes” at Del Signore which she rejected, including an incident where he asked to kiss her.

“Clark was frequently inappropriate with Del Signore and other female employees of Visit Annapolis,” the suit states.

“Throughout Clark’s tenure at Visit Annapolis Clark was known for making inappropriate comments or making unwanted physical contact, and used his position of authority to get away with it.”

Jobson said Visit Annapolis has been paying Del Signore’s benefits, including three years of health insurance, but that any bonuses like the $15,000 retention bonus mentioned in the suit are not considered benefits.

He also said Visit Annapolis handed off the results of the investigation of Del Signore to a law firm specializing in ethics and will release the findings once the law firm has reviewed the case.

Jobson said Visit Annapolis attempted to set up a mediation with Del Signore but did not receive a response from her lawyer, so they put in a demand Tuesday for arbitration.

“In the demand, all the facts are going to come out,” Jobson said. “We will be releasing all of this.”

Del Signore and her lawyers, Timothy Maloney and Michael Brown, did not respond for comment.

Del Signore requested a jury trial for the case the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County. As of Tuesday afternoon, no court dates have been set.
