Agreed. I've been working on an Africa event for about 2 years now but it needs a proposal for Rich and the planners to review.
I'm working towards that proposal and after the March roadshow was completed, I put it on a front burner. I anyone wants to help on the proposal for the event to get it greenlit, please feel free to reach out to me off-list. We've had some really amazing news is the past few weeks and some really bad news too. It's a big project though.
