By way of background, the RGA Executive Roundtable program was created in 2008 to bring a select group of CEOs, entrepreneurs, and other leaders together with our governors to both discuss the key issues facing our country and the states, and to support the election and reelection of Republican governors. Our membership continues to expand across the nation and continues to generate a tremendous base in support of our Republican governors and gubernatorial candidates. We would like to invite soon-to-be Secretary Wright to speak on a panel with 3-4 Republican governors discussing the Administration's work on unleashing America's energy independence. Attached is the event information request form for your records. Below is more information on the location and timing of the panel. The audience will consist of 225-250 of our C-Suite Executive Roundtable members and our Republican governors. This panel will take place at RGA's Executive Roundtable Winter Meeting on Thursday, February 20, and it will be closed to press. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
