A committee dinner is being arranged for the evening of September 26th. Further details

reservation by filling out the attached response form and returning it to us soonest. Kindly take
note that the Institute’s policy is to bill individual committee members who choose to attend for
their portion of the dinner. If you confirm attendance for the dinner and cancel within 48 hours
of the scheduled event, you will still be charged for your portion of the pre-arranged dinner.
Suggested Agenda Items
We need to get your input on agenda items for the meeting. Please use the attached
form to list your ideas and suggestions or e-mail Don Boteler (boteler@ici.org) or Doug
Anderson (dlanderson@delinvest.com). Our experience indicates that if topics are circulated in
2
advance, the value of the discussion is considerably enhanced. A preliminary agenda will be
circulated to the committee approximately two weeks before the meeting.
Respond by September 9
Please fill out the attached response form and return it no later than September 9th to
Agnes Thomas via fax at 202-326-8314 or let her know via e-mail (agnes@ici.org) that you plan
