Wright - Thurs. Feb 20 at 10:45am Izzy, Governor Gianforte let me know he spoke to soon-to-be Secretary Wright about RGA's Winter Meeting. We would like to invite him to speak on an Energy panel along with former Governor and soon-to-be Secretary Burgum as well. I believe he is familiar with our meeting format as he is a current RGA Executive Roundtable member, but I have listed the panel description as well as the other speakers we would like to invite below. The panel will be at the Conrad Hotel in Washington, DC on Thursday, February 20 from 10:45am-11:45am ET. The audience will consist of around 200-225 of our C-Suite Executive Roundtable members and our Republican governors. Will soon-to-be Secretary Wright be able to join us for this very important panel? THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2025 10:45 AM -- 11:45 AM Executive Roundtable Panel Discussion II: Energy -- Changing Course: How Republican Governors will support the Trump Administration's Push for Energy Dominance Location: Grand Ballroom, Conrad Washington, DC, 950 New York Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20001 Energy -- Changing Course: How Republican Governors will support the Trump Administration's Push for Energy Dominance President Trump is back in office, which means American energy is once again open for business. Over the last four years, the Biden Administration ruled by regulation, leading to higher energy costs across the board and less American-made energy. The good news? President Trump changed course within minutes of being sworn into office and issued multiple executive actions to maximize the responsible use of America's natural resources, limit regulations, and expand innovation to achieve energy dominance. Additionally, President Trump has empowered thoughtful, innovative, and commonsense leaders such as Doug Burgum and Chris Wright to unleash American energy and put the foot on the gas for producers. This panel will discuss how Republican governors have been laying the groundwork to leverage the new direction of the Trump Administration and support future American energy production.
