ICMA-RC conducts business with The City of Greensboro.

Westmorland and Vigue have a Financial Interest, as they could obtain a potential compensation arrangement ICMA-RC as they conduct negotiations/transactions/arrangements between The City of Greensboro and ICMA-RC.
In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, Westmorland and Vigue should have disclosed the existence of the financial interest.
