Sec. Chris Wright_Event Request Form.docx
Hi Carolyn!
Thank you very much for reaching out and putting this at the top of our inbox. Thank you very much for reaching out and your interest and invitation in having Secretary Wright join y'all in May.
Do you mind filling out the attached event request form with a few more details for our team. In an effort to be transparent, the Secretary already has prior event commitments on the 19th but if you could send over the info attached, I can let you know should anything change!
I have also copied Tala and Lou's correct email addresses here who may have an idea for someone that could attend in his place if that was of interest to you.
Thank you,
Izzy

Hi Isabelle,
I manage the President's Office at the American Gas Association and I wanted to follow up on the email sent last week from our President and CEO, Karen Harbert, to make sure it was submitted properly. Additionally, do you have any forms we need to complete for the event to be considered by your office?
Thank you for your time, Carolyn Farrell

The Honorable Christopher Wright Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy 1000 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20585
Dear Secretary Wright,
On behalf of the American Gas Association (AGA), I am pleased to invite you to be the keynote general session speaker at our 2025 AGA Financial Forum. The Forum is being held May 17-20 at the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort in Marco Island, Florida.
As you may be aware, AGA represents more than 200 energy companies that provide natural gas service to 189 million Americans, representing 95% of natural gas delivered in the United States.
The AGA Financial Forum is the industry's premier event with the financial community, bringing together over 200 energy industry CEOs, CFOs, and Investor Relations executives, with about 125 energy industry securities analysts from around the country, as well as 125 representatives of the banking industry.
Our keynote presentation will be from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. on Monday, May 19th and we would like to focus on your vision for how natural gas will be an enabler in bolstering the economy while providing reliable, sustainable, and affordable energy to all.
As a country, we are witnessing a consequential moment in American history. Energy is the essential ingredient that enables everything we do. Our members and the financial community would appreciate hearing your perspective on how AGA and our members can support President Trump's vision to promote energy abundance, demonstrate leadership in scientific

and technological innovation, and protect affordability and consumer choice in home appliances.
Energy security is national security, and natural gas is a solutions provider to America's greatest opportunities and challenges-a growing population, foreign enemies, emerging industries or vital infrastructure that underpins our way of life. For Americans, this energy abundance also means greater national security: by strengthening our domestic energy base, we minimize dependence on countries that do not share our values or interests, foster global stability through exports and provide a robust platform for economic growth and environmental progress.
We are proud to represent an energy industry capable of delivering natural gas 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. AGA is a committed champion for consumer affordability, consumer choice and access. Fuel choice is more than convenience; protecting consumers' ability to select energy solutions, especially for heating, cooking and other critical uses that best suit their needs, remains paramount.
We will be in touch with your office to confirm your availability and schedule a prep call with staff to discuss detailed logistics. Again, we hope you can join us in May.
Kind regards,
Karen A. Harbert President and Chief Executive Officer American Gas Association
