Good morning Bianca,
Happy to meet with you next week -
October 7th is good at 10:30am EST.
Please confirm. I understand that the shutdown of the government impacts the 2026 schedule as well as the participant agreement.

Hello Kevin,
Yes, we could meet early next week , I am available on Monday, October 6, or Wednesday, October 8, anytime between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Please advise which date and time works best for you.
That said, with the current government shutdown, the Participation Agreement will need to be placed on hold until operations resume.
I look forward to your guidance on scheduling.
Best regards,

Good morning and thank you Jolanta.
As soon as we hear back from The Bahamas team with a confirmation, I look forward to initiating the required process and payment.
Have a great day everyone.
Thanks again.

Hello Kevin and Bianca,
Thank you for agreeing to execute a GKS for The Leadership Group. I can start preparing the Participation Agreement.
Kevin, this will start the “paperwork” process leading to a Payment link for the service. The GKS is $950 to identify, arrange, and attend the meetings. The service takes about 6 weeks to prepare so end of January is good.
Bianca, do you want a call with Kevin before we start the PA? Or I can enter the PA and we can follow up with a call after payment is made. What do you prefer?
