The conference call will begin at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time and will feature brief comments from USMEF officers and senior staff, including regional directors from foreign office locations. Their comments will be followed by a question-and-answer session, which will conclude by 2:00 p.m.
Participants should call 1-866-519-2804 and enter passcode 770447. If you are calling from an area that cannot access this toll-free number, please dial 1-719-234-7307 and use the same passcode. Please note that this will not be an operator-assisted call, so please mute your phone (*6) until the question-and-answer period begins. When asking a question, please unmute your phone (also *6) and provide the panel with your name and the name of your news outlet.
