Ben, Per our conversation earlier, wanted to follow up with what we need to do to lock in an event in late June or early July with Secretary Wright. Basically, all we need from you guys is a date and time - ideally late morning, like 10 am or 11 am hour - on a weekday where he can come to an event for an hour in downtown DC. What would happen there is we will have a green room where he can hang before we go up on stage, and then after a little bit there he and I will go up on stage and I would interview him for about half an hour or so. Then he's clear to leave very easy on your guys' end. Once we have a date and time, we along with our partners - CGCN and ALFA Institute -- will book a five-star downtown DC hotel ballroom for the event. And all he has to do is show up for it and be him and do a great interview with me. We ideally need at least a couple weeks notice out from the date to work out all the logistics. So at this stage, if he has any openings the week of the 23rd of June or the week of June 30 that includes the beginning of July that would be amazing. Once we confirm a date and time, I'll rope in our broader team to hash out logistics and venue and everything with you guys and we can set up a brief call in the lead-up to it as well to discuss things. Let me know if we can get a date on the calendar soon.

Ben, Per our conversation earlier, wanted to follow up with what we need to do to lock in an event in late June or early July with Secretary Wright. Basically, all we need from you guys is a date and time -- ideally late morning, like 10 am or 11 am hour -- on a weekday where he can come to an event for an hour in downtown DC. What would happen there is we will have a green room where he can hang before we go up on stage, and then after a little bit there he and I will go up on stage and I would interview him for about half an hour or so. Then he's clear to leave -- very easy on your guys' end. Once we have a date and time, we along with our partners -- CGCN and ALFA Institute -- will book a five-star downtown DC hotel ballroom for the event. And all he has to do is show up for it and be him and do a great interview with me. We ideally need at least a couple weeks notice out from the date to work out all the logistics. So at this stage, if he has any openings the week of the 23rd of June or the week of June 30 that includes the beginning of July that would be amazing. Once we confirm a date and time, I'll rope in our broader team to hash out logistics and venue and everything with you guys and we can set up a brief call in the lead-up to it as well to discuss things. Let me know if we can get a date on the calendar soon.
