I hope you are having a great start to the week. Thank you very much for the patience as we work through this request. As he is coming from the Private Sector, we are doing an in-depth ethics check on all meeting and event requests while we work through the Secretary's divesting process over the given time frame he has to divest. Unfortunately, until the divesting window closes, this falls under that category, so he won't be able to attend. We really appreciate the invitation and your interest in having him join everyone at the AFPM Meeting. Thank you again and have a great rest of your week. lzzy From: Aaron Ringel <ARingel@afpm.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 4, 2025 1:37 PM To: Lamanna, Isabelle <Isabelle.Lamanna@hq.doe.gov> Cc: Fitzsimmons, Alexander <alexander.fitzsimmons@hq.doe.gov>; Hebert, Ashley <ashley.hebert@hq.doe.gov>; Sofia Tran <STran@afpm.org> Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: AFPM meeting request for Secretary Wright Hi Izzy, appreciate you reaching out!
