To: From: Sent: Subject: Dravis, Samantha[dravis.samantha@epa.gov] Kilbert, Kenneth Mon 6/12/2017 2:25:03 PM Great Lakes Water Conference, Nov. 3, 2017 in Toledo, OH - Invitation To Speak Dear Ms. Dravis: The University of Toledo College of Law and its affiliated Legal Institute of the Great Lakes are holding their 17th annual Great Lakes Water Conference on Friday, November 3, 2017 at the University of Toledo College of Law. I am writing to invite you to speak on a panel at this year's conference. The working title for this year's conference is "The Trump and Trudeau Administrations on Water." As Associate Administrator leading the Office of Policy in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, you seem to be an ideal person to talk about the new administration's accomplishments and plans regarding our nation's water resources, including the Great Lakes. The composition of the conference panels is still a work in progress, but you should anticipate speaking for about 25 minutes and then participating in a brief question-and-answer session with the audience. The annual Great Lakes Water Conference addresses legal and policy issues important to the Great Lakes region, provides continuing legal education, and typically attracts media coverage and more than 200 attendees, including representatives from government, non-governmental organizations, business, academia, law and the community. It is widely regarded as the leading annual conference in the region focusing on environmental and water law and policy. Brochures and information about past Great Lakes Water Conferences can be seen at www.utoledo.edu/law/acadeniics/ligl/conferences.htnil. Kindly let me know soon whether you are willing and able to speak at the conference. We can reimburse reasonable travel expenses for speakers. If you have any questions or desire additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.
