Atlantic's "Washington Ideas Forum" Announced

Dear Colleagues & Friends:

As part of The Atlantic’s fourth-annual WASHINGTON IDEAS FORUM, we're putting together a session featuring former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Lawrence Summers, US Senator Lindsey Graham, White House Chef Sam Kass, Chef José  Andres, former NY City Schools Chancellor Joel Klein and others..  If you have plans to be in the DC area next Wednesday, November 14, I would like to invite you to join us for these special preview encounters to our main stage Washington Ideas Forum sessions.

We have a VERY limited number of seats available for these sessions so I wanted to write to you first with my personal invitation.

To RSVP  for this morning preview session, simply reply to this message — and I'll be sure to have your name on the list.  Really look forward to seeing you Wednesday morning.

 All best,

Steve Clemons
