I had the pleasure to work with you for South Carolina International Trade Conference and it was such a great experience. Your broad knowledge of the Global Trade items examplify the importance to have an experience practitioner in the Supply Chain. With the complexities in the Global Trade these days, one cannot afford to miss any details. Thank you for all your support to our conference.

Rhonda… Two-hour lunch with Omar today! What a terribly interesting man!! Fascinating. We talked about business. And many other interesting topics. Smart. Insightful. Get him twice; your people will really love him. Omar is such an advocate that justice as the answer to so much of our world turmoil. His passion is evident everywhere. Plus, his business acumen is so penetrating and solid. As you know, he also works with the county jail doing a condensed business primer for the young inmates. Thank you for your help!

Dear Omar: The CIAS members couldn’t stop raving about how great the information and presentation were yesterday- we appreciate you so much! Many of the attorneys wanted additional materials about the TPP and if you want to send any resource materials to me, I will make sure to distribute it to the group. Also, Nancy Roberson wanted the statistics again because they really did blow her mind! She wants us to do a write-up about the presentation for the Mecklenburg County Bar newsletter. I’m happy to draft it—and if you don’t mind sending me a couple quotes that I can put into the report, I would greatly appreciate it. We will also use the quotes in a news release if Norma has time to draft it for us this month.

Omar: Thank you for your great presentation today. There was high interest in your topic as evidenced by the large turnout. Your program was extremely well-received by our membership. The Q and A almost never goes as long as it did today. The members could not get enough of you. We would like to have you come back to speak to us about global logistics.

Dear Omar, You have been specifically requested by the CIAS Board to speak again, if you are willing! They loved your TPP presentation last year. If you would be willing to speak to our Board again, we would love an update on any other trade deals you see impacting your businesses (NAFTA?) or just generally your observations from the freight forwarding and supply chain industries. How (if anything) have things changed for you since last year? Would you be willing to do a similar presentation again for the CIAS Board in January? You were their favorite speaker! Please let us know, and Ana and I will help coordinate the date/time/location. Thank you for your consideration!

Hello Omar, You were on a roll today! 260 plus participants, on a Friday morning, wow. Very inspiring, authentic and entertaining as always. Thanks for the invitation.
