Hey, Kara! It's the week of the 28th, so if this is still good timing,
how about Friday afternoon, or anytime next week except Wednesday? (I'm
at a workshop most of this week and fly to California on Wednesday.)
My schedule is open for you anytime after noon EDT this Friday - just
let me know when, and if there's anything it would be helpful to prep with.

PS: Ccing Marketing so they're in the loop that this is happening...
folks, I won't be able to make the meeting today due to being at a
workshop, but will catch up with minutes afterwards.

Hi Mel,
Sorry for the long delay in responding to this note. I was in EMEA the
past two weeks and now this week is the home stretch for Summit so I've
been a little swamped. Can we schedule a call sometime during the week
of June 28 after Summit to talk through the workflow?
Thanks,
Kara
