Hey all,

Relatively new member here. I've been reading these emails for a while now - I'm pretty excited to be a part of this group.

I'd love to throw my hat in the ring for consideration of the summit. Please don't get me wrong - I don't mean to disrespect the traditions here in terms of preferring the seniority of delegates. This just seems like an unbelievable opportunity, and I would be honored to be considered in representing this group. I'm more than willing to learn more about this organization and complete the application process y'all decide on! And I completely understand if I am coming too far out of left field to be considered!

Best wishes and much respect,

Lee Pennebaker
