regional chapters for networking and exchange of regional best practices and provide

Subject: Oregon RIMS Presentation
Gary,
The Oregon chapter of RIMS is looking for a Risk Manager to give a presentation on what
organizations need to do to prepare for a Pandemic Flu. Several of our members attended your
pandemic flu presentation at the 2006 Western Regional Conference in Utah and strongly
recommended I contact you to see if you are available to speak to our group.
The meeting is Thursday, September 17 in Portland, OR. The chapter can pay for one night's
lodging, but unfortunately we would not be able to pay for a flight to Portland.
Please let me know if you are able to join us, and I am happy to answer any questions you may
have.
