Dear Board of Directors,


What a tremendous 24 hours - thank you to everyone that participated in our Fall Board of Directors meeting. Your input was invaluable, particularly on our work around the country and with the Presidential candidates. We are already incorporating your suggestions into our gameplan. Few additional items to share:

§ I was on Capitol Hill this morning for our closing breakfast with Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), and he was truly impressive. A very thoughtful voice, largely influenced by his military experience. A champion in the making!

§ Yesterday afternoon, Derek received an email response from Donald Trump's campaign chairman asking for a meeting. Who knows where, when or what will come out of it, but we will keep you posted!

§ From our meetings yesterday, I have already heard back from NSA Susan Rice's office, Clinton Advisor Jake Sullivan, and Governor Pawlenty about how much they valued the time with the Board. I thought they each were very worthwhile.


Many of you asked that I recirculate some of the material from yesterday:

§ USGLC's Impact 2016 Candidate Video<http://www.usglc.org/2015/08/25/fried-twinkies-and-foreign-policy/> (2 minutes)

§ Secretary Schultz Video<http://www.usglc.org/2015/09/15/reagans-secretary-of-state-why-foreign-assistance-still-matters/> (1:30 minutes)

Let me know if you are interested in joining me for our first two Impact 2016 events in Iowa on November 23 with Senator Joni Ernst or in New Hampshire on December 4 for our first GOP Candidate Surrogate Forum.


Next week, we will launch our Impact 2016 website and host our event with Senator Flake in Arizona. Of course, we will be closely following the Budget, the Democratic Debate, and GOP Leadership races. More to come.
