Is it possible to have Administrator Pruitt speak at the Governors-only lunch and deliver his remarks there instead? It would work best to do immediately following the one-on-one meetings given his time constraints. Let me know if you'd like to chat live regarding this. Thank you for working with us on this!

Lunch is a Governors-only affair, with any special guests such as the Administrator. The keynote is the opening session of the meeting, which will be attended by the Governors and our attendees (300+ is a typical crowd). So the opening session is where remarks would be delivered. Keep shooting questions this way. 17cv01906 Sierra Club v.

I just wanted to confirm a little more detail around the below. Are the audiences the same at the lunch you mentioned below prior to the "official" start of the meeting and the keynote starting at 2/2: l 5PM? Aside from the settings being slightly different, is there any other difference to consider between both? I'm just hoping to have a full understanding before bringing to our team, as we look at timing to accommodate his schedule. For example, if it's the same audience at both, could he make his remarks at the lunch rather than during the keynote slot? The keynote slot may still work, but just want to have all the information before looking at flights. Thank you so much and I appreciate it!

We are glad to move the Administrator's remarks to the start of our Friday agenda, which we will also begin earlier. The revision means a 2pm meeting start, with the Administrator speaking at 2: 15pm. As before, we have allotted 30 minutes for a mixture of the Administrator's remarks and then a short Q&A onstage with the Governors. As already noted, the Administrator may schedule one on ones with the Governors that morning and is invited to join them at lunch from 11 :45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. prior to the opening of the meeting. Let me know your questions.

EPA ED_001523B_00002634-00004 Hello Joe, I'm happy to let you know that Administrator Pruitt would like to accept your invitation to speak at the Westem Governor's Association Winter Meeting. In looking at the agenda, I had a few questions regarding the best time for him to speak. I see that the keynote is 3:30-4PM on that Friday. Ideally, we would like to get him on a flight mid-afternoon that day for his next event. Could you provide a little more information about the agenda and the possibility of him delivering his remarks at potentially the breakfast or lunch that day instead? We understand and want his address to be a "keynote" setting, but just need a little more information on if there is flexibility and what you would recommend. He will also absolutely want to take advantage of the private meeting time with Governors as well. I will have our Intergovernmental group reach out to the POC to set those up once we determine his speaking time. Thank you and I look forwarding to hearing from you!

I manage communications for WGA and handle agenda development for our meetings. Thank you for considering our request to have Administrator Pruitt deliver a keynote at the 2017 WGA Winter Meeting, Dec. 1-2 at the Arizona Biltmore. As noted in the attached Speaker Request form, we would welcome the Administrator's participation on either day. The attached agenda shows the public meeting schedule and also notes when the Governors are available for private sidebar meetings with the Administrator, should he seek one-on-ones. The nonpartisan, collegial spirit of WGA meetings has consistently provided an opportunity for collaborative and productive discussions between Cabinet members and Governors on Western policy issues. It would be our honor to continue that tradition with Administrator Pruitt. Please let me know what other information you need or questions that you have.
