Hello,

In last week’s Board meeting, I recall that an estimate for a cost for lunch was $10,000. This was in the context of discussing a proposal to allow for a vendor sponsored/paid session.

Nicole mentioned that this cost seems really high, higher than what is charged at either Charleston or ER&L. Maybe this question is really for Anna: is that a defensible estimate, do you think? The context of her response was me asking what she thought a vendor would consider paying, and I mentioned this estimate. Is it possible at this stage to give a more certain estimate?

More later on this as the conversation between Shannon, Nicole, and me progresses.

Steve
