Fred, good plan.

Patty, no objection from me. Please get the 2017 audited financial statements when they become available.

Thank you,
Emily

That sounds like a reasonable plan to me. I have regular calls with the Katelyn Brewer, the CEO, and am accompanying her to a meeting in NY next month. I will begin the serious conversation next week.
Have a great weekend.

I'm thinking an initial conference call with Lyndon might be helpful , but I would see the process starting with Patty and you working with your counterparts in N.C. to develop an outline of a plan to bring D to L under the Beau Foundation.
Outline should include plans for staff , finances/budget ( including plans for assuming any debt , lease agreements and ownership of assets ) , new board configuration , changes in management responsibilities and/ or job descriptions and plans for marketing the new team .
Report should also provide rationale behind announcing the transaction as a "merger" or an "acquisition" ?
Once we have this information in hand the board sub committee would review/critique the report and most probably schedule a meeting with leadership from D to L -- maybe even schedule a trip to NC to see the operation first hand.
Thoughts from other committee members ?

Hi folks, wanted to start a chain for the Darkness to Light acquisition sub-committee. As Patty and I mentioned yesterday, there have been informal conversations we’ve both had with Lyndon Haviland, former CEO of D2L and a great friend of both of us and the BBF. I defer to folks with experience with these things, but it seems to me a good first step would be to connect you guys with Lyndon and have an initial conversation. In addition to being former CEO, she is currently a board member of D2L. Her bio is here: https://www.d2l.org/d2lgroups/lyndon-haviland-mph-drph/.
If you guys think there’s a better first step, that’s totally fine - just wanted to get the ball rolling.
Thanks!
