Conference Speaker You are planning a conference for your professional organization. A good friend from your college days at UCLA, Virginia Jackson, is a highly regarded motivational speaker. You want her to be the keynote speaker for your annual conference, which will be held in Palm Springs, California, on October 28, 2022. You would not be able to pay her normal speaking fee of $2,000 but you could cover her airfare and lodging.
Although you were quite close in college, you have not visited in several years. The last time you did speak to her, she indicated that she would enjoy getting together with you and some other friends in the area. You arrange to have her fly to Palm Springs on Thursday and leave on Sunday morning. Her speech would be from 10 to 11 a.m. on Friday. You and some of her other friends could spend time on Thursday and Saturday renewing old acquaintances.
Write a letter to Virginia at 1250 Lakeview Drive in Saxapahaw, NC 27340, inviting her to come to California to visit and be the keynote speaker at the conference.
