This leads to my second point, which is, we who are present have a wonderful opportunity to engage with Kenyan business at the reception that WADO and its associates in <!--/*SC*/defang_st1:City defang_w:st="on"/*EC*/--><!--/*SC*/defang_st1:place defang_w:st="on"/*EC*/-->Nairobi<!--/*SC*//defang_st1:place/*EC*/--><!--/*SC*//defang_st1:City/*EC*/--> are staging on Sunday night. The BC has put on a number of events like this, but this time I am excited that WADO is engaged because we should be looking forward to a good turnout from Kenyan business. As we all know, the BC needs to expand its membership roll on a broad global scale, so I am hopeful that this upcoming event will be a first step in making outreach a serious part of our new structure. For these reasons, I underscore how important it is to let <!--/*SC*/defang_st1:City
