Dear all,
The event with Secretary LaHood is finally upon us. Capacity is filling up and we are expecting a full house. Also, it is being speculated by the media that President Obama is set to announce his pick to succeed Secretary LaHood tomorrow, which will undoubtedly draw some media attention to our event.
I am requesting that everyone, with the exception of Roddy and Jared who have spoken to me about their class conflicts, please arrive to ESIA at 6:00pm, in western business attire, and head directly to the State Room.
Here is a breakdown of the schedule and E-Board assignments for the event:
