Subject: Invitation to Participate in ELI Leadership Council Events
Hi Ryan -1 hope this finds you well. When we met, I mentioned our interest in having Administration officials join some of our Leadership Council events. As you will recall, ELFs Leadership Council is composed of leading lawyers and environmental professionals who are the primary source of strategic advice and support for ELL They are predominantly from the private sector. I mentioned in particular the idea of Administrator Pruitt's joining us for our national Leadership Council symposium in September. This would be a closed door session with 40-60 top thinkers in the environmental law community from across the country. It would I think be a great chance for the Administrator to talk about his priorities with an informed and influential audience; I am certain that the Council would greatly value his taking time to do this. We have a week in view at this point: the week of September 11th. We think would need about an hour of the Administrator's time, as part of what will be a half-day program over all. Is there a time that would work well for him that week? We can build the rest of the program around his availability.
Also, I wanted to see if you would yourself be willing to join us for one of our regular engagements with our DC Leadership Council members. We hold quarterly luncheons with them where distinguished government officials talk to them in an informal, off-the-record fashion. The experience, including lunch, lasts no more than 90 minutes. Ron Tenpas has spoken to the group in the recent past, as have other senior leaders from EPA, State, DOI and NOAA. Usually around 25-30 members attend (with a few folks on the phone). Our guest usually gives an informal 20 minute talk, and that's followed by about 15-20 minutes of Q&A/discussion. We follow Chatham House rules to allow for a candid exchange. The next meeting would be in July. Possible dates are Tuesday, July 11, Wednesday, July 12, Tuesday, July 25 or Wednesday, July 26 depending on what works for your scheduling. I could promise to get you out of the door by no later than 1:30 p.m. Would you be interested and available?
Please let me know your thoughts on both of these questions as soon as you are able. I have taken the liberty of copying some of the folks at the Agency who may be able to help sort out the scheduling questions. Btw, had a good chat with Susan Bodine the other day. She'll be a great help to you when you get her on board. Soon, I hope!
Best regards,
