<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Committee Members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we approach the new year, I’d like to pick your brains for good topics to discuss at the annual meeting in March. For a limited time only, you can have a free pass, meaning you can suggest a topic without volunteering to lead the discussion!
Give me a topic and I’ll look for someone to take it on. Or better yet, you can anonymously volunteer SOMEONE ELSE to talk, and I’ll make the request without disclosing who suggested it!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any planning ideas you are curious about? Any recent cases that we should be discussing? Send me your thoughts for the annual meeting! It will be March before we know it!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And Happy New Year,<o:p></o:p></p>
