Dear Chairs, AD's, I've received a number of questions about the OGF20 Chair Appreciation night. My team was delaying communication about this event until we determined the overall event's financial stability, but I am sorry to inform you that due to the costs of the overall event and the exchange rate between the US Dollar and British Pound, we cannot afford a Chair Appreciation dinner at this event. For those of you who will be in Manchester both Tuesday and Thursday nights, note that we will be having receptions on both nights, and you are all welcome to join those activities. I do not wish this announcement to be interpreted in any way that we are terminating this long-standing tradition nor that you as key contributors and leaders in our community are any less valuable. We look forward to continuing this tradition at future events. I want to take this opportunity to personally thank each of you for your hard work and hope that for those of you who are attending OGF20, you find the remainder of the event highly satisfying. Thanks, Steve Crumb Executive Director, OGF scrumb@ogf.org +1 312-895-5931 (new)
