Dear Board of Directors,

We are looking forward to seeing you for our Spring Board meeting next week May 22-23, 2018 in Washington, D.C.

Speaker Update
I am very pleased to update you on a few additions to our schedule, including a newly scheduled meeting with Ivanka Trump at 9:30 AM on May 23rd. While I recognize this may be challenging for some of your schedules, I hope you can make every effort to join us for this very important discussion. Additional guest speakers for Tuesday, May 22nd include:

  *   Vice President Pence’s Chief of Staff Nick Ayers
  *   House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy

  *   USGLC Pollsters to unveil our Heartland message research
  *   Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) will join us for dinner

As you will see from the schedule below, we have a very busy day! We know it’s extremely full but we have been amazed that so many of the guests we invited said yes, and we will take breaks throughout to be respectful of your time. Should there be any changes, we will send the final schedule on Friday along with “Read-Ahead” articles.
