Dept of Energy, 4:25-cv-5027 SC_EVERSPLIT0009024 Dear Secretary Wright: I am writing to invite you to address our Annual West Virginia Mining Symposium and Coal Show scheduled for April 15-16, 2025, in the Grand Ball Room of the Charleston Coliseum and Conference Center in Charleston, West Virginia. The Mining Symposium is the premier mining program of the year in West Virginia, attracting over 400 mining professionals from West Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania. A general review and discussion of the nation's energy challenges and the role of coal under your administration would be desirable and timely. Ideally, we would prefer to feature you with Governor Patrick Morrisey in our Keynote Session on the morning of Tuesday, April 15th but would accommodate whatever time or day best fits your schedule. This year's program begins at 9 a.m. on April 15th and runs through 4:30 pm on Wednesday, April 16th. We applaud President Trump's energy actions and policy statements over the past couple weeks and look forward to a "new era of domestic energy production" under your leadership and administration. We hope our 2025 Mining Symposium lines up with your schedule and availability and your personal interest to engage with our members. We look forward to working with you and your team over the coming years and equally look forward to your presence and remarks in April. Sincerely, Chris R. Hamilton President and CEO COA Chris Hamilton West Virginia Coal Association President chamilton@wvcoal.com (b) (6) ******************************************************************** This message does not originate from a known Department of Energy email system.
