Dear Board of Directors,

A few last minute changes as we gear up for our two banner events of the year, but they are all exciting and I do hope you can join us.  Thank you for your flexibility, and I look forward to seeing you in two weeks.

Tuesday, June 16 - State Leaders Summit

Due to scheduling issues, we have a few timing changes, but I am thrilled to announce that we have added a keynote address by the 2014 Nobel Laureate, Kailash Satyarthi (the one who received the award along with Malala).  Also, Secretary Kerry asked to change his keynote to the closing session, so we hope you will come to both, and for the afternoon, stay and join us for the Smart Power Expo and Reception to meet our State Leaders.

Here are the new times:

s  11:00 AM              Opening Plenary        Nobel Laureate, Kailash Satyarthi

s  5:00 PM                Closing Plenary          Secretary of State, John Kerry

s  6:00 PM                Reception                   State Leaders Expo and Reception

All Summit events will take place at the Marriott Marquis, 901 Massachusetts Ave., NW.  Board members will be included in VIP receptions (approximately 30 minutes before each plenary) and reserve seating for both sessions.  RSVP to Jessica Mueller at [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>.

Wednesday, June 17 - Tribute Dinner

We have just confirmed that in addition to honoring Senators Bob Corker and Chris Coons, Admiral Mike Mullen, former Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will join the evening's program.  We are thrilled as he is still one of the most influential military voices of our time.  I thank you for your continued effort in reaching out to your network to attend the dinner.  We will be celebrating our 20th year as a coalition, and I am really looking forward to seeing you there.

If you have any questions for either event, give Jessica a call at 202.730.4161. I look forward to seeing you on the 16th and 17th.

Liz
