I also just called you a few minutes ago and left you a voice message aswell to call me back. So, now Ihave decided to send you another email. What Ihad contacted you about is the registration for one member ofthe team from Maine. His name is Jeff Mao. Itried to register him for the conference, butby thetime Idid it, the registration was closed -that is why Isentyou the email - but have not heard back from you as to the status ofthis request. The reason Ihad not registered him earlier is because we are required by State Government here in Maine to submit and get approval for any out-of-state trips, BEFORE any travel arrangements are made! That is the reason why Ihad not registered Jeff Mao earlier. Ihad already registered Stephen Bowen, ourCommissioner of Education and also James Rier, ourDeputy Commissioner. The onlyone I need to have confirmed isJeff Mao. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP! Thank you very much for your help!
