Hi Leila -
Thank you again for your help with our invitation to Secretary Zinke to speak at our Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA this August. Attached is the completed speaker form.

We recently sent an invitation for the Secretary to attend the gala on September 26, 2018 and our CEO received at note from your scheduling office asking to fill out the form as well. I thought it might help to included them both on this reply as I will be the contact for both events.
As you review, if you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you and have a great weekend!
Best, Courtney

Hi Leila & Luke -
I hope this note finds you doing well! We were able to work together last year on Secretary Zinke's attendance at the ALEC Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado. You were both so helpful! I am hopeful we can work together again as we are hosting our 45th ALEC Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA from August 8 - 10, 2018 and would like to invite Secretary Zinke to keynote our Thursday Lunch Session on August 9, 2018. Our attendees so enjoyed hearing from him last year in Denver! Please find attached the formal invitation from our CEO, Lisa B. Nelson.
We are looking to host Thursday, August 9 as our energy day. Since our attendees are made up of state legislators, policy experts and business leaders from across the country, we will be hosting a variety of workshops that morning all surrounding different energy sector issues. Our lunch session will continue this theme as we would like Secretary Zinke to speak on innovation and exploration taking place through the Department of Interior relating to energy. In addition to Secretary Zinke, we have invited Director Scott Angelle from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) and Deputy Administrator Andrew Wheeler from the Environmental Protection Agency. The day will be capped off with our Energy, Environment and Agriculture meeting that afternoon. Our hope from this informative programming is our attendees will take away a well-rounded approach to energy issues in their states.
As you review, if you have any questions, please let me know. We are hopeful Secretary Zinke can join us and once again address our attendees.
Thank you for your time!
Best, Courtney
