I'm in SF the week after Memorial Day.
How about June 7 or 9 at our apt? Maybe, to Andy's point, we could hold a second event that week. We could focus on women and engageing them.
We'd need a third event in NYC.
I'll send David Von Storch an email about hosting an event in DC.

Good morning guys:

I'm sorry I wasn't able to join you last week for the latest call.

June 1st is workable, but as its only two weeks from today, I'll encourage that we consider dates starting on the 8th, with a commitment from staff that an invite is ready for approval on 5/17 (tomorrow).

Also, do we know of staff have a vetted invitation list (email addresses) ready to us for distribution of invites?

Best,
Rod
