Dear Joel,
I am so pleased that you
were the keynote speaker at
our State Legislative
Conference. Our members
thoroughly enjoyed your
presentation, and more
importantly, you inspired
them to become more active
participants in our
grassroots program. We
raised a considerable
amount for our PAC that day
as well, which is no doubt a
credit to the message you
presented and the attention
it garnered.
Your professionalism,
expertise and willingness to
help at all stages of the
planning process
significantly contributed to
an outstanding event for us.
The bar has definitely been
raised, and I appreciate your
guidance throughout the
process. Not only did our
members learn a lot, you
helped me tremendously
with new ideas and ways to
approach our grassroots
program.
Thank you for the work and
time you put into to
preparing for the program. I
am so impressed that you
took the time to really learn
about our program by
interviewing agents, key
staff and reviewing our
publications.
This commitment on the front
end really showed in the way
you were able to tailor your
message on the day of the
event.
I also really appreciate your
help in preparing the
panelists and your
willingness to serve as our
panel moderator. It's just
another example of how you
helped us execute this event
in a way that maximized our
time and message.
I enjoyed working with you
and would be happy to be a
reference for you in the
future. I hope to work with
you again.

Best regards,
Heather Meeker
Public Affairs Coordinator
