Governor Wes Moore announced that Maryland Department of Budget and Management Secretary Helene Grady will leave her post in October after nearly three years in the role.

Grady has overseen the department during a period marked by significant fiscal challenges and policy shifts, including efforts to balance projected deficits, manage significant State investments, and address workforce needs across agencies.

“Secretary Helene Grady is a true public servant in every beautiful sense of that phrase. And when the story of Maryland’s Decade is written, her fingerprints will be all over the page,” said Governor Moore. “During Secretary Grady’s distinguished tenure, we turned an inherited structural deficit into a surplus, delivered a tax cut to middle-class families, and secured historic investments in education, health care, public safety, transportation, and countless other priorities that Marylanders deserve.”

Until October, the secretary will continue overseeing the DBM’s work to manage the State’s fiscal, capital, and personnel resources while a search to fill the post is underway.
