Okay listen I talked to who you wanted me to
They are committed to do this but can't commit to a date so let's try and work with them to narrow things down

Hi Amy and Jordan,

I wanted to let you know that I asked Ellen Thrower to check on hotels for potential WLF conference dates.  I tend to have trouble getting large enough hotel space since so many groups host conferences/events in the fall, so wanted her to start checking around now.

The Marriott Marquis (union) is available on September 29th & 30th and potentially available September 22nd & 23rd.  They are booked for all of October. This is where the conference was hosted in 2014 and is the largest space I’ve been able to use in the past. I’ve asked to put soft holds on those dates for now.

Happy to start moving forward whenever is appropriate!
Claire

Hi Amy,

Thanks again for your time yesterday.  We all appreciate having the opportunity for candid conversation with you.

I wanted to touch base about the 2016 WLF Conference and strategize about how to pick dates.  I hope we can still plan to have a conference this fall despite the chaotic calendar.
In the past, I’ve announced the dates to the general public by mid-May.  I’ve tried to take important dates this fall into account below for your reference.  Do you have advice as to how to plan ahead without knowing our how eventual nominee will fit into all of this?

Important fall dates:
Tuesday, September 13 -26 – UNGA (POTUS speech Sept 19?)
Monday, September 26 – First Presidential Debate
Monday, October 3 – Tuesday, October 4 – Rosh Hashana
Tuesday, October 4 – First Vice Presidential Debate
Sunday, October 9 – Second Presidential Debate
Wednesday, October 12 – Yom Kippur
Wednesday, October 19 – Third Presidential Debate

WLF conference options
All options are Thursday/Friday combos.
September 22-23
September 29-30
October 6-7
October 27-28

I’m happy to reach out to Carol and Cynthia to get their input as well if you think that’s appropriate at this point.

Thanks in advance,
Claire
