3:30 works well! I would like to offer that we host you all here. We can do a roundtable with coffee in our event room. We can make the St. Regis work, but to be quite honest events here run smoother from a security perspective. Understand if you prefer to do off site though. Additionally, would you mind filling out the attached event form?
Thank you!

Excellent- would you prefer the 3:30pm time or a dinner roundtable later that evening (6:00pm)? I was thinking that the St. Regis would work nicely.

Great. June 20 we could do an afternoon roundtable (light fare and coffee/tea) at 3:30pm. We could also do a dinner roundtable that evening if preferable. What do you think?

One amendment to that timeframe. With our annual board meeting on June 1, the week of June 5 would be best on our end if that is possible for the Administrator.
Very best, Matthew

Dear Sidney: It's a pleasure to meet you. Please let me know the preferred date and time for Administrator Pruitt to address BCIU. While we are more than capable on short notice, it's best if we have around 3 weeks' notice to get the perfect table in place. Does anything look open the last week in May/first week in June?
I look forward to working with you. Please feel free to call me at 202-595-2669 if that is easier.
