RE: CHANGE IN LOCATION OF THE OCTOBER BOARD MEETING
Earlier this month we sent you a notice explaining that the October Board meeting was
being held at the Ritz-Carlton in Virginia because of expected protests related to the
IMF/World Bank meetings being held in Washington. As you may have read, in response to
the significant protests that were expected, the IMF and the World Bank have shortened their
meetings from seven to two days. Their meetings will now end on Sunday, September 30th.
This change allows us to hold the Institute’s Board meeting in ICI’s offices. Therefore we have
reserved a block of rooms at:
The St. Regis Hotel
923 16th & K Streets, NW
Washington, DC 20006
Reservations: (202) 879-6911
Phone: (202) 638-2626
Fax: (202) 638-4231
Standard rooms are available for $265.00 per night. If you have already made your
reservations at the Ritz-Carlton please cancel those reservations and rebook a room at the St.
Regis or other hotel of your choice in Washington D.C. If you have not yet made your hotel
reservations please do so before September 7, 2001. If you experience any difficulty securing a
room please contact Ms. Jane Forsythe, 202-326-5934, at the ICI. We apologize for any
inconvenience this may have caused you, however the Virginia location was chosen to ensure
you would not be inconvenienced by the protests.
A revised schedule of events is attached. Please note that by returning to Washington
D.C., the multi-candidate fundraising event originally scheduled for Friday morning, October
5th will now be held on Thursday evening prior to the Board reception and dinner.
If you have any questions regarding the meeting please call Larry Maffia at 202-326-
5857. I look forward to seeing you in October.
Matthew P. Fink
President
