Dear Board of Directors,

With the Presidential race all but set, and Congress having a very short window to legislate this season, our spring Board meeting is shaping up to be one of the most consequential opportunities for us to meet and strategize how to move our agenda forward. I hope you will make every effort to join us.

Our meetings will begin on Tuesday, May 24 for an early lunch on Capitol Hill. Following, we will head to the Loews Madison Hotel for an afternoon of strategy discussions and important conversations regarding the election and transition issues. Our meeting will adjourn after dinner on Tuesday, May 24. We will have NO meetings on Wednesday, May 25.

Please find the tentative schedule below and attached, I look forward to sharing with you our confirmed speakers shortly. We will provide material and final details as we get closer to the meeting. Please RSVP to Emily Benovitz at ebenovitz@usglc.org<mailto:ebenovitz@usglc.org> and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Many thanks.

Liz
Liz Schrayer, President & CEO
