I hope that both of you, your friends and family are okay and safe. Along with other professionals in the financial industry, my colleagues and I at GARP, have been affected by this tragedy. I have had an opportunity to speak to the vast number of 2002 Convention speakers since yesterday and the overwhelming response has been to proceed with the Convention. Indeed, there seems to be a determined effort not to let what happened last week bring the financial world to a standstill. I also believe that this is a time that NY requires all the support it can get, both emotionally and financially. As such, I am searching for new venues within Manhattan, but this is a very difficult task, as you can imagine. As soon as I have any news about venue and possible change of dates I will be in touch. Barring any unforeseen events or meetings, I would like to know whether you can confirm that you will still be taking part as a speaker at the GARP 2002 Convention? I, and a great number of financial risk professionals that I have mentioned the workshop to, are still very keen to have you there. As such, I would very much like to have the energy risk management agenda in the next few days. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or queries. I look forward to your response and hope that you are able to join us and your peers at GARP 2002.
