Hi Lem! Just confirming that the 18th won't work unfortunately. This meeting is definitely a priority for Chris but with his divestment plan he cannot participate until April. Please let me know if you want to send over some alternative times in April. Happy Friday! Izzy

No worries at all! I want to make sure I'm not leaving anyone hanging!
Let's touch base here in a week or two about a meeting at the end of March or first week of April.
Have a great rest of your week.
Thanks, Lem!

We completely understand. I'm sorry about that. Feel free to keep working it thru this channel and we'll ensure Chevron wires don't cross.

Hi Lem!
I hope you are having a great week! I wanted to touch base with you and make sure I was closing the loop here on a meeting with Mr. Wirth.
I had been reached out to by Michael Wery from the Chevron team about a meeting with Sec. Wright during CERAWeek. CERAWeek has already been booked up completely and we are still working through a few divestment processes for the Secretary as well.
With that being said, I had mentioned to Michael that looking at a meeting the last week of March or the first week of April when we have more of an all clear on the divestment/ethics front would be awesome if that would be doable on your end.
Thanks so much and please let me know if it would be appropriate to add you both to an email chain going forward.
Talk soon!
Izzy

You bet, Izzy, on all counts... Thanks so much! Totally understand that, and Chevron of course 100% supports the process required on your end. If this visit doesn't work this time for Mike/Sec Wright, we will look forward to a potential future opportunity once your process is complete.
Take good care and let me know if this Denverite can assist as you get settled in the OMV. Big place but can feel smaller fast once you get settled-in.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Thank-you .

Hi Lem!
It is great to hear from you, I hope the weeks is going great for you.
I definitely remember seeing your name before. And yes, it's been awesome so far, we have a great team out here!
I received the meeting request and will get back to you as soon as possible. Just as a heads up, we are working closely with our ethics team as we work through Chris' divestment period which is causing some conflict of interests with taking meetings in the oil and gas industry until that is complete.
I will touch base with the team and get you an answer on dates and the conflict-ofinterest issues as well!
Thanks so much,
Izzy

Izzy,
Thank-you . My colleague at Chevron, Michael Wery, filled out the form for our CEO Mike Wirth, who has met Chris before but hasn't seen him since he was confirmed as Sec Wright! Mike will just be here on the 18th so would appreciate any support should the Secretary be available.
I was in Denver 14 years and spent time with Chris then, as I ran GR for Encana (now called Ovintiv) before moving back to DC in 2020. Thrilled to see so many friends coming to help right the ship at DOE under his great leadership.
Thank-you and hope to meet you soon.
I will forward the form filled out previously.
Don't take any grief from my pal Andy.
All the best, Lem
