Subject: Description for SIGMA On-Site Program Book
Hi Jahan,
Below is the description we would like to include in our printed conference program book that is only distributed on-site once our Annual Conference has begun. Please let me know if it is approved.
A Conversation with Scott Pruitt, Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
In an exciting opening to the SIGMA Annual Conference, join Brad Puryear, Chairman of the SIGMA Legislative Committee, for a conversation with Scott Pruitt, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Hear Administrator Pruitt's perspective on EPA's actions to assist our industry in keeping the fuel supply flowing in the aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Hear his insights into the current issues surrounding our industry today, from regulatory policies to renewable energy. Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear directly from Administrator Pruitt as Brad converses with him about the state of the fuels industry, EPA's future, and SIGMA's priority issues in a unique one-on-one format.
I hope to have a sign proof for you early next week (to put in front of the ballroom where Administrator Pruitt will be speaking).
I have thought some more about on-site trade press (we do have some press registered that are there to cover our conference) and I have the following thoughts:
If we alert them ahead of time that the session is off the record or that they may not attend, that will send up red flags - which we want to avoid
We can do any of the following: O prevent them from entering the ballroom (but they will know he is speaking and could reference in their reporting that they were kept out of the room); O allow them to enter but declare the session off the record (also print that in the program book); or O allow them to cover the session.

Please advise. Happy to hop on another call to hash it out. Amy
