Dear Board of Directors,

I am excited to officially share the great news that Secretary Kerry will deliver the keynote address at the USGLC's State Leaders Summit on June 16th at 11:00 a.m. and I hope you will be able to join us.  While I don't have all of the details about a VIP meet & greet, we will certainly have VIP seating for Board members.

Here are the details, as of now, to add to your calendar:

§  Plan to arrive at the Marriott Marquis, 901 Massachusetts Ave, NW by 10:30 a.m.

§  Board members will be escorted to a VIP reception room, and then to reserve seating for Secretary Kerry's speech.

§  Please RSVP to Jessica Mueller at [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>.

The conference is shaping up to be a great success.  We are expecting nearly 400 State leaders from almost all of our 25 priority states and we hope to visit nearly 200 Congressional offices on Wednesday.  In addition, over 100 of our participants are veterans - a big thank you to Deloitte for sponsoring some of our veterans.

You are welcome to join us for any other part of the program.  A full agenda is available here.<http://summit.usglc.org>

Highlights include:

§  Political strategists Paul Begala and Bill Kristol as part of our Impact 2016 program.

§  Luncheon breakout seminars on a range of topics including Aid & Trade, U.S. Investments in Africa, and Empowering Women & Girls.

§  National security panel featuring General Michael Hagee, Ambassador John Negroponte, and former Pentagon official Kathleen Hicks.

§  Smart Power Expo spotlighting 25 of our coalition members and 150 agencies including USTDA, USAID and OPIC.

Of course, I look forward to seeing you on the evening of June 17th at our annual Tribute Dinner. Many thanks to those of you who have already supported us as Vice Chairs and helped with outreach. It should be a spectacular gathering as we honor Senators Corker and Coons!

If you have any questions, feel free to call Jessica at 202.730.4161.  I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

Liz
