Alex,
It was great connecting with you last week! Following up on our conversation I wanted to pass along the attached meeting request letter from AFPM CEO Chet Thompson to Secretary Wright.
Understanding the Secretary's busy schedule, we stand ready to work with your staff to set up a time for them to meet at your earliest convenience. I'm looping in Chet's Executive Assistant Sofia Tran as well. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Best, Aaron
