    and was a personal friend to Governor Scott Walker. Villa also rented a room to Kelly Rindfleisch in West Allis, Wisconsin between March 2010 and the election in November 2010. .

    Walker, Scott K. Mr. Walker, the current Governor of the State of Wisconsin, was at all times relevant to this criminal complaint the County Executive of Milwaukee County. Mr. Walker was also a candidate for Governor, and he was the candidate supported by the campaign committee known as the Friends of Scott Walker.

    Werwie, Cullen. Mr. Werwie served as the second campaign manager for the Brett Davis campaign committee, "Brett Davis for Lt. Governor." He replaced Emily Loe in that position following Emily Loe's March 2010 departure from the Davis campaign.

    Wink, Darlene. Ms; Wink was an employee responsible for Constituent Services in the Office of the Milwaukee County Executive. In May 2010, Ms. Wink resigned her position after it was revealed that she was posting comments of a political nature on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel web site.

    C. INTRODUCTiON & SUMMARY OF OFFENSES

    Kelly Rindfleisch was hired by Deputy Chief of Staff Tim Russell in early 2010 to fill a position as Policy Advisor within the Offices of the County Executive. When she arrived for her first day of work, Chief of Staff Tom Nardelli was unaware she had been hired. Rindfleisch, however, was a former legislative aide who had worked in Madison. There she had met the then County Executive's friend and advisor, Jim Villa. She also knew Keith Gilkes from her work in Madison.

    Using a non-County issued, personal laptop computer and a non-County, private wireless Internet connection supplied by Tim Russell, Ms. Rindfleisch worked on projects assigned to her by Russell (at least according to her own description shortly after starting in the County Executive's Office as a policy advisor). In an Internet chat on January 25, 2010 with a friend, George Ermert, after Ermert learned of the private wireless network in the County Executive's Office, Ermert asked Rindfleisch if she "was going to be helping out the campaign too." Rindfleisch replied to Ermert that:

    "half of what I'm doing is policy for the campaign."

    Rindfleisch stated that she worked on Operation Freedom as well. See Figure 1 below.

    Figure 1

    Rindfleisch was promoted to Deputy Chief of Staff in March 2010. Her office was located less than twenty-five feet from the office of then County Executive Scott Walker. See Appendix A

    From February until July 2010, Rindfleisch worked as a fundraiserforthe campaign committee "Brett Davis for Lt. Governor." Detailed below, substantial fundraising work was done for Brett Davis during business hours while Rindfleisch was paid to do work on behalf of Milwaukee County.

    Persons associated with the Friends of Scott Walker campaign committee generally favored Brett Davis over other candidates for the office of Lieutenant Governor.

    Darlene Wink resigned her position in the County Executive's Office on about May 14, 2010 because of her apparent political work during the business day. In the weeks thereafter, Ms. Rindfleisch thereafter decreased the amount of fund raising work she did from the County Executive's Office.

    Dan Morse, a fund raiser for the Friends of Scott Walker, was brought on to help with Davis' fund raising activities in June 2010 .. Rindfleisch did not work well together with Morse and she resigned her position with the Davis campaign in July 2010. Morse continued his role as a Davis and a Walker fund raiser through the end of each of these campaigns.

    After leaving county goverr)ment in November 2010, Ms. Rindfleisch worked on the Governor Walker Inauguration. Thereafter, although her salary is listed as an "In Kind" contribution from the Republican Party of Wisconsin to the Friends of Scott Walker, Ms. Rindfleisch worked as a fundraiserforthe Friends of Scott Walker. To my knowledge, Ms. Rindfleisch left this position in the second week in January 2012.

    D. VENUE AND JURISDICTION

    Based upon a review of Rindfleisch's personnel file produced by Candace Richards of the Department of Human Resources of Milwaukee County in response to a John Doe subpoena, I know that Ms. Rindfleisch was employed as an "Administrative Secretary, Policy Advisor'' in the Office of the County Executive for the period of January 13, 2010 to March 14, 2010.

    Further, based upon a review of Rindfleisch's personnel file, on March 15, 2010, Ms. Rindfleisch was promoted to the position of Deputy Chief of Staff in the Milwaukee County Executive's Office. Ms. Rindfleisch held this position through November 2010.

    The Office of the County Executive is located in the Milwaukee County Courthouse, located at 901 North gth Street, City of Milwaukee, State of Wisconsin.

    Milwaukee County is a political subdivision of the State of Wisconsin.

    Ms. Rindfleisch established a residence in Milwaukee County in March 2010. Based upon a review of personnel records produced by Candace Richards, Department of Human Resources of Milwaukee County, I know that as of June 2, 2010 Ms. Rindfleisch claimed her residence as 1331 South 93rd Street, West Allis, Wisconsin.

    James Villa was the former Chief of Staff for the Milwaukee County Executive's Office. He is a long-time personal friend of Scott Walker. He served as an informal advisor to the Friends of Scott Walker in 2010. In his testimony before the John Doe Judge, James Villa stated that he resides at 1331 South 93rd Street, West Allis and that in March 2010, Ms. Rindfleisch began living at his home several days a week. This is the same address that Ms. Rindfleisch claimed as her Milwaukee County residence to fulfill her residency ,requirement as a Milwaukee County employee.

    Andrea Boom is a woman who worked with Kelly Rindfleisch prior to Rindfleisch's employment in Milwaukee County. In 2011, Ms. Boom worked together with Ms. Rindfleisch at the offices of the Friends of Scott Walker. In her testimony before the John Doe Judge, Andrea Boom stated that she engaged in "chat sessions" with Ms. Rindfleisch using the chat account of [email protected]. Boom identified the moniker of "rellyk" as belonging to Kelly Rindfleisch. Figure 2 is a copy of part of a "chat session" recovered from Kelly Rindfleisch's laptop computer.1 According to the information obtained from the Rindfleisch laptop and as confirmed by the John Doe testimony of Andrea Boom, Ms. Rindfleisch engaged in a "chat session" with Andrea Boom, which chat session bears a date of Wednesday April 28, 2010 beginning at 8:20 a.m. As set forth in Figure 2, Rindfleisch "chatted" that she does have a residence requirement as an employee for Milwaukee County and that she lives on "93rd and Greenfield" at the home of her friend, Jim Villa.

    1 The Rindfleisch laptop was recovered on November 1, 2010 when Investigators for the Milwaukee County District Attorney's executed a search warrant in the Milwaukee County Executive's Office seeking evidence of Misconduct in Public Office and Political Solicitation Involving Public Officials and Employees. Rindfleish's laptop was imaged and examined by Milwaukee County District Attorney Office Information Technology Manager and certified Encase forensic computer examiner James Krueger.

    E. STATUTES AND RULES APPLICABLE TO MILWAUKEE COUNTY EMPLOYEE CONDUCT

    Ms. Rindfleisch, at all relevant times, was.a public employee within the meaning of Wisconsin Statutes 946.12.

    Wisconsin Statutes 946.12(2) prohibits a public employee from acting, in the employee's capacity as an employee, in a manner which the employee knows is forbidden by law to be done in the employee's official capacity.

    Wisconsin Statutes 946.12(3) prohibits, whether by act of commission or omission, a public employee from exercising a discretionary power in his or her capacity as a public employee with the intent to obtain a dishonest advantage for another.

    Wisconsin Statutes Section 11.36( 4) provides:

    No person may enter or remain in any building, office or room occupied for any purpose by ... any political subdivision [of the State] ... or send or direct a letter or other notice thereto for the purpose of requesting or collecting a contribution.

    Wisconsin Statutes Section 11.36(2) provides:

    No person may solicit or receive from any officer or employee of a political subdivision of this state any contribution or service for any political purpose during established hours of employment or while the officer or employee is engaged in his or her official duties.

    R-Ap. 109

  • Kelly M. Rindfleisch, DOB: Page7

    Milwaukee County Ordinances further provides at 9.05(2) that:

    No county public official or employee shall use his/her public position or office to obtain financial gain or anything of substantial value for the private benefit of himself/herself or his/her immediate family, or for an organization with which he/she is associated.

    Milwaukee County Ordinances further provides af 9.06 provides that:

    No county public official or employee at his or her place of employment while engaged in his or her official duties shall, for the apparent purpose of seeking to elect or defeat a person seeking elective office:

    (a) Wear or display any campaign material.

    (b) Distribute any campaign literature.

    (c) Solicit contributions for any candidate.

    (d) Engage in political campaign activities for any candidate.

    The conduct of public employees is further guided by the judicial decision emanating from the Caucus Scandal. See State v. Chvala, 2004 WI App 53, 271 Wis.2d 115, 678 N.W.2d 880. .

    F. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RULES FOR MILWAUKEE COUNTY EMPLOYEE CONDUCT

    Laurie Panella is the Acting Director of the Milwaukee County Information Management Systems Division {"IMSD") of the Department of Administrative Services.

    Pursuant to John Doe Subpoena, Ms. Panella produced IMSD documents and records relevant to the John Doe investigation. In this regard, I have reviewed a document entitled "USE OF TECHNOLOGIES POLICY" signed "Kelly Rindfleisch" and dated January 13, 2010. The Rindfleisch signature appears immediately below the following text:

    I acknowledge that I am in receipt of Milwaukee County's Use of Technologies Policy and that violations of my obligation to adhere to this policy may result in progressive steps of discipline, which may include my discharge from Milwaukee County service. I also understand that violations of the policy on my part may result in Milwaukee County taking action that will deny me access or rights to any of Milwaukee County's technology resources.

    My signature on this Policy does not imply agreement with the policy, but rather shows that I have read and received a copy of this policy from the management of my workplace.

    G. THE RECORDS OF THE CERIDIAN TIMEKEEPING SYSTEM FOR MILWAUKEE COUNTY DOCUMENT WHEN KELLY RINDFLEISCH WAS WORKING AS AN EMPLOYEE AND WHEN SHE CLAIMED OFF-TIME

    I am familiar with a Milwaukee County timekeeping system known as the "Ceridian" system. In the course of this John Doe investigation, subpoenas were served upon Milwaukee County for records relating to the time reporting of Kelly Rindfleisch. These records reflect Rindfleisch's off-time due to vacation, personal holidays, sick time and other forms of sanctioned employee leave. Except as otherwise noted in the paragraphs below, when I refer to an action taken by Kelly Rindfleisch between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, I have checked the Ceridian records and confirmed that Kelly Rindfleisch reported no employee off-time on that day:

    H. THE JOHN DOE INVESTIGATION HAS GATHERED RECORDS TENDING TO ESTABLISH THE DATES AND TIMES THAT KELLY RINDFLEISCH WAS AT HER DESK IN THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE'S OFFICE

    I know that Milwaukee County Courthouse Complex employees are routinely issued electronic "Key Cards" that allow access to otherwise secure areas of county buildings. These areas include the exterior entrances to the Courthouse and the offices of the County Executive. The "Key Card" system maintains a digital record of each time a specific card is swiped by the cardholder, including the location accessed by the cardholder. As part of the John Doe investigation, these Key Card accessrecords for the Key Card assigned to Kelly Rindfleisch were subpoenaed and examined.

    Like county "Key Card" records, CPS Parking also maintains records for those persons who park in MacArthur Square parking lot on a monthly basis. The John Doe Judge issued a subpoena for these records, which I have also reviewed as they relate to Kelly Rindfleisch. The MacArthur Square parking lot is immediately adjacent to the Milwaukee County Courthouse, and many persons who work in the Courthouse Complex rent space for parking there. CPS Parking issues access cards to its monthly parking customers. These access cards are scanned at the time of entry into and exit from the MacArthur Square parking lot. A record. is created at the time of entry and exit recording the date, time and the card used for entry or exit. Obtained by John Doe subpoena, I have examined these CPS Parking records for Kelly Rindfleish.

    Based upon my review of parking records during the time that Ms. Rindfleisch parked

    2 The policy states:

    For the purpose of this policy, technologies in the work environment shall refer to a wide array of equipment and/or software, including, but not limited to: analog and digital telephone services (voice mail, message broadcasting, message/call forwarding), facsimile (fax) machines and servers, image scanning and copying equipment, shared and stand-alone computers (both fixed and portable) and their peripherals, pagers (text and voice), cellular phones, data networks, dial-up network facilities, global positioning systems (GPS), radios (VHF, UHF, 800 MHz, 800 MHz trunked, fixed and portable units), and wireless services.

    her car in the MacArthur Square parking lot (April 1, 201 Oto November 2, 201 O) and based upon my review of county "Key Card" records (April 1, 201 O to November 2, 2010), I can state as a general matter that Ms. Rindfleisch arrived at the Courthouse Complex at about 7:00 a.m. and left from the MacArthur Square parking lot between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m.

    I. INVOLVEMENT WITH CAUCUS SCANDAL

    The information in this section of the complaint is based upon my review of the reports written by Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Dorinda M. Freymiller.

    Because it bears upon Ms. Rindfleisch's knowledge of the proper limits placed upon the conduct of public employees under the laws of the State of Wisconsin, I note that, on December 16, 2002, Ms. Rindfleisch was interviewed by State Department of Justice Agents investigating the Caucus Scandal.

    As part of the interview, Rindfleisch was shown an Immunity letter from then Dane County District Attorney, Brian Blanchard, according to the reports of the Special Agents conducting the interview.

    Rindfleisch was employed as a staffer for Representative Scott Gunderson from January 1995 - May 1999. She worked at the Assembly Republican Caucus (ARC) in legislative services and media from May 1999 - March 2000. Rindfleisch worked at the Senate Republican Caucus (SRC) from March 2000 - December 2001 as a policy analyst, and was - at the time of the interview - employed as a staffer for State Senator Mary Panzer.

    Rindfleisch stated that, when she began working at the ARC, Sherry Schultz helped Rindfleisch with planning and organizing fundraisers for Assembly Republican Members.

    Rindfleisch stated that ARC staffers were assigned to work with specific new members of the Assembly. ARC staffers were expected to help the new member with setting up their office structure, policy issues and fundraising. Rindfleisch stated she left the ARC before the 2000 campaign cycle began, so her involvement with fund raising was mostly related to compiling lists of potential people to invite.

    Rindfleisch stated that she was approached by a Brian Fraley who asked her to work at the SRC. Rindfleisch gave statements regarding her work on political campaigns as directed by Brian Fraley. She stated that her pay as a state employee would be reduced by 80% to 100% during these times. Rindfleisch also spoke about campaign materials removed from the SRC and placed in storage at the direction of Brian Fraley, after the 2000 campaign season and before January 1, 2001.

    Figure 3

    As set forth in Figure 3 at top of thread,3 on the morning of May 7, 2010, a furlough day for Rindfleisch, at about 10:50 a.m., Kelly Rindfleisch wrote to then Assemblyman and Lieutenant Governor Candidate Brett Davis. She advised Davis that she had been speaking with Keith Gilkes (the Friends of Scott Walker [FOSW] campaign manager) and that Gilkes said that he (Gilkes) had gotten Davis' e-mail about Ed Mooney. See Figure 3. Rindfleisch explained to Brett Davis that Gilkes thought that he (Gilkes) was supposed to ask

    Mooney for a contribution. That was not correct, Rindfleisch said, and she clarified for Gilkes as follows, "I clarified that we wanted him (Gilkes) to tell him (Mooney) that you are the best match to help Scott get the Governor's office." Rindfleisch goes on to explain to Davis, "I told him (Gilkes) that Ed is ready to write the check, we just need someone to reinforce you are the guy." See Figure 3.

    c. Jim Villa. chair of the Walker Inaugural Committee and a close personal advisor to the Friends of Scott Walker. supported Brett Davis for Lieutenant Governor.

    Noted above, James Villa was, prior to Tom Nardelli, the Chief of Staff for County Executive Scott Walker. In 2010 he served as an informal personal advisor to Scott Walker and his campaign. He has known Scott Walker since college.

    Villa supported Brett Davis as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor in a number of ways. First, he helped raise funds. On April 14, 2010 at 7:15 a.m. on that date, Rindfleisch wrote to Brett Davis as shown in Figure 6.5

    d. John Hiller. Treasurer of the Friends of Scott Walker. supported Brett Davis for Lieutenant Governor.

    I have reviewed the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board Campaign Finance Information System records for the contribution activity of John Hiller, the Treasurer for the campaign committee Friends of Scott Walker. GAB records show that Hiller contributed to one Lieutenant Governor candidate only, that being Brett Davis, giving $200 on June 6, 2010.

    2. Rindfleisch worked to raise funds for Brett Davis from her office in the County Executive Office Suite in the Courthouse.

    Kelly Rindfleisch served as the fund raiser for Brett Davis for the time period of about January 31, 201 O until she resigned that position in July 201 O. Kelly Rindfleisch was replaced by Dan Morse, a person who also worked as a fundraiser for the Friends of Scott Walker.6

    From my knowledge of the race for Lieutenant Governor and from my review of GAB filings, I know that Brett Davis was a candidate for the Office of Lieutenant Governor. He was the candidate identified in campaign registration papers filed for the committee identified as "Brett Davis for Lt. Governor" with the GAB. I also know that a Primary Election was held in the race for the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor. That primary was held on September 14, 2010. Mr. Davis did not successfully emerge from the primary and was defeated by Rebecca Kleefisch.

    a. Rindfleisch's fundraising work during the course of her official duties was not isolated during the time period of Februarv 2010 to Julv 2010.

    Based upon my review of e-mails obtained by Search Warrant from the Google Gmail account of Kelly Rindfleisch, [email protected], I know that Rindfleisch exchanged e-mails with [email protected], an account maintained by Brett Davis, a minimum of approximately 300 times between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday between February 3, 2010 and July 9, 2010.7 These e-mail contacts were almost always, if not exclusively, related to fundraising efforts.

    Overall, from February 3, 2010 to July 9, 2010, between the hours of 8:00 and 5:00 p.m. other than the days on which she was out of the office for holidays or personal off-time, the investigation has identified about 1,380 e-mails sent or received by Kelly Rindfleisch related to fundraising activities.

    6 See footnote 3. 7 This calculation excludes days on which Ms. Rindfleisch claimed off-time from work.

    b. Rindfleisch's fundraising work was accomplished using a secret e-mail svstem available to and used by select ''insider" staffers for both official and unofficial business.

    I know8 that Rindfleish's e-mail communication was accomplished using an unofficial, personal laptop computer and networking equipment.

    The unofficial networking system Rindfleisch used9 was established by Tim Russell. In the course of the execution of a Search Warrant in the Office of the County Executive on November 1, 2010, Milwaukee County District Attorney investigators searched the office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, formerly occupied by Tim Russell and occupied by Rindfleisch on the day of the search. In an armoire in that office, I am advised by investigators that they found packaging for two network devices. First, they found a box for an AT&T "USBConnect" "LaptopConnect" device. This is pictured on packaging as a USB device designed to be plugged into equipment for purposes of making a 3G broadband Internet connection. Second, investigators found a box for a wireless Netgear .3G Mobile broadband Wireless Router. Instruction sheets accompanying this Netgear device illustrate that it was designed to be connected to a "3G USB Modem," among other types of connections. Packaging labels found with these boxes bore the name of ''Timothy Russell" and were addressed to 901 North 9th Street, Ste 306, Milwaukee, WI 53233-1425." The John Doe Judge issued a subpoena for the AT&T records of Timothy Russell and I have examined the records that AT&T produced. These records show that Russell was paying for a device with wireless numbers matching the AT&T "USBConnect" "LaptopConnect" device described immediately above and the records show a "Service Start Date" of October 16, 2009.10

    The unofficial e-mail system was routinely used by selected insiders within the Walker administration. The existence of this e-mail system, which was based on personal Internet e-mail accounts and was used both for official and unofficial purposes, was never disclosed to county employees outside a closely held group within the Walker administration.

    In fact, even though the secret e-mail system was used for business purposes which could have and which did include communications within the scope of Open Records requests, the existence of the system was never disclosed to Laurie Panella, the Acting Director of the Information Management Services Division. Panella was responsible for gathering all relevant e-mails in response to Open Records requests and she was part of an Open Records Committee that

    8 This statement is based upon the information developed in the course of the execution of a Search Warrant by Milwaukee County DA investigators including the seizure of Rindfleish's laptop computer, an examination of that laptop computer, and statements of other County Executive office employees. 9 In his testimony before the John Doe Judge, former county employee Jon Myhre, a Policy Analyst for the County Executive in March and April of 2010, testified that Rindfleisch used a router device that allowed for a connection between a laptop and the Internet. He stated that he had assisted Kelly on at least one occasion with a router malfunction. 10 The equipment itself was not found. At the time the search warrant was executed, Ms. Rindfleisch's laptop was found "tethered" to her cell phone.

    State v. Kelly M. Rindfleisch, Appeal No. 2013AP362-CR

    R-Ap. 117

    had been formed to respond to Open Record requests submitted to the Walker administration in May 2010. Panella testified that although it would have been important for her to know about such a private e-mail system, it was never disclosed to her. See Appendix B.

    c. Between February and Julv 2010, besides fundraising for Brett Davis. Rindfleisch otherwise spent significant .periods of county time on communications with the Friends of Scott Walker campaign committee.

    Besides raising funds for Brett Davis, Kelly Rindfleisch maintained regular contact with the Friends of Scott Walker campaign committee. Identified within the [email protected] e-mail account seized by virtue of a John Doe search warrant, for the time period of February 3, 2010 to July 9, 2010 (excluding weekends, holidays and off-time) during standard business hours (8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.), the John Doe investigation has identified in excess of 1,000 e-mails on which either campaign manager Keith Gilkes, deputy campaign manager Stephan Thompson or campaign communications director Jill Bader was a sender or recipient. In other words, on more than 1,000 occasions between February and July 2010, Rindfleisch either sent e-mails to Gilkes, Bader or Thompson or she received an e-mail which was also received by either Gilkes, Bader or Thompson. This averages to about 10.8 such e-

    " mails per day, with a maximum number of 7 4 such e-mails on April 29, 2010. Because Ms. Rindfleisch communicated with other campaign representatives (but on a less frequent basis), these numbers are illustrative and do not conclusively summarize e-mails on which Ms. Rindfleisch was either the sender or a recipient.

    d. The Contract to Raise Funds for Brett Davis and Conference Calls with the Davis Campaign Committee.

    The contract between Rindfleisch and Brett Davis for fund raising services itself was exchanged via e-mail on Thursday February 4, 2010 at 3:40 p.m., with Rindfleisch sending the contract to Davis using her kmrindfleisch @gmail.com account. According to the terms of that contract, Rindfleisch was to be paid $1,000 per month. A review of Ms. Rindfleisch's bank records, obtained by virtue of a subpoena issued by the John Doe Judge indicate that a sum total of

    e. To Raise Funds for Brett Davis. Rindfleisch dealt with multiple different fundraiser hosts while she was in the County Executive's Office.

    8pm. She is going to put the invite together, put together the invite list, and get all of the hosts. She said the only thing we will need to do is mail out the invites. She said she doesn't want Brett to "invite" too many of his friends, because she doesn't want this to be a "big" event. With that said I told her you'd be contacting her (email: [email protected], cell: 262-XXX-XXXX) just to see if there is anything we can provide assistance with. Brett seems confident that Candee will be able to put this whole event together by herself. So we won't need Brett to make host calls for this event and Candee is adamant that she wants to design the invite. I'm going to keep in touch with Candee just to make sure this event moves forward as planned. With that said, if you could put together the list of people you think we should invite to this event, I'd like to have further conversations with her to see if she'll let us invite people through our standard list building/mailing process. While it is her house and she totally has a right not to want boatloads of people there, in my eyes, there is no such thing as a bad "big" event. So once I have my hands on that list I may either try to convince her it'll be a good thing to invite all of these people, or have Brett make the sale.

    I hope that makes sense-'II

    11 a tough host team but we ask no more from those we work with

    than we give ourselves. The event is more than just gathering 1 people ... it is putting ourselves & our reputation on the line for a j candidate that we believe in. We have to get it right because as

    1 'I community leaders, we will need to tap into those people again I , and so far, they have trusted us enough to give serious

    1,1:

    1 I consideration to what we say. ! Brett Davis is a great candidate but, as you know, his field is I crowded with other candidates who are 'marketing' themselves so

    each time you reach out on his behalf it must begin with a product I that oozes pride for Brett, his values and his ability to step into

    whatever role Scott Walker will want the Lt. Gov to play. Begin 1 with an invitation that boldly informs the invitee of a 'EVENT

    i 1 INVITE' on the envelope and a message that causes people to

    l.'i

    l I take notice, be curious and anticipate attending ... this sets the bar , for expectations and in many cases is the first contact Brett will ! have with people. Make it a great impression. The mailing list

    I I also tells people a story about the candidate ... if a household gets l I multiple invites, the addressee is deceased, name misspelled, I ! needless to say, it reflects badly on Brett. People don't take time

    lli

    l I I to realize it is 'staff or volunteers making these decisions. ! I We would be happy to discuss some host 'tips' to make the I i I process of introducing Brett through events clearer, stronger and !
