Event Request Form for Admin. Pruitt (Manhattan Institute).pdf
Hi Miliari!
Glad to see you're finally set up with an official email
Attached is the completed form per your request. Given how early on in the planning stages we are, the answers to some of these questions will depend in large part on the Administrator's schedule, preferences, etc. In addition to what's on there, I just wanted to put a couple of additional things on your radar:
1. It is standard procedure for our events to be photographed and videotaped. The event videos are usually made public on our website and YouTube channel; but we can refrain from posting the video if the Administrator prefers not to make it public,
2. In addition to the actual event, I wanted to let you know that it is customary for us to invite some of our featured speakers to attend a post-event dinner with a select group of our leadership and trustees. Once we get something on the books, let me know if this is something Administrator Pruitt would be interested in.
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out with any additional questions/concerns, I look forward to working with you again.
Best,
Ralf

My name is Ralf Mangual, and I manage legal policy projects here at the Manhattan Institute. I just got off the phone with Millan Hupp who kindly returned my call in regards to an invite our President would like to extend to Administrator Pruitt. She asked me to send an e-copy of the letter (see attached) your way. We're thinking late May but are very flexible in terms of timing.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at any time if you have any questions or need more information. Thanks in advance for your time, and I hope we'll have the pleasure of hosting Administrator Pruitt again soon. Kind regards,
-Ralf
