Terry,

Please set aside 30 minutes on my calender sometime next week to talk to Suzette.   I don't know her so your help in setting up the meeting would be appreciated.   Please coordinate with TJ Black (3-5800).

My conversations with Chris have been along the same lines - Personally the modeling thing is a very minor concern to me.  That is only one component of what we are doing and, based upon what I have heard about Chris, he will be able to pick it up quickly.  Obviously his mind is on other things right now but I am very comfortable that he would be able to add value to our effort.

In Suzette's case, again she obviously wants to develop her skill set but I think she would be a good fit.  Tim, I agree with your point that Kevin might be the right person to follow-up with her.

I spoke to Chris Ahn last Friday.  He left for his wedding and honeymoon on Monday or Tuesday of this week.  He has two concerns.  The first is that he doesn't want to flake on east power structuring.  I told him that Presto should be able to smooth that over.  The second one is that he isn't sure that he has yet developed the modeling skills that are necessary for this type of heavy lifting.  He is smart and hardworking, but I personally haven't witnessed his modeling skills nor does he have a "stamp of approval" via a RAC, structuring, or Fundies rotation.  I suggested that he have a heart to heart with Terry to assess whether his current skills are up to snuff.  Terry, have you had that discussion yet????  What is your independent assessment of his capabilities????  As far as the Portland thing goes, I would take Chris in Portland in a heartbeat.  If you would like me to call Suzette I'd be happy to.  Presto might be more effective since her alternative is a rotation in east power.

Terry Donovan has dug up another two candidates, but both are on the fence.  Could either or all of you volunteer to call them and discuss the benefits of joining this effort?

The pitch should center around the broad reaching interface within both the EES and EWS organization, the exposure to the entire risk management process from cradle to grave, and eventually, good face time with many of the senior leaders within both organizations as they present their research findings.

This is a very hard group to recruit for, so anything you can do would be appreciated.  Send me a mail if you intend to help.  


Suzette Emmons - She had some interest and is preparing to rotate but is leaning towards the SE Power Origination group in ENA because she is looking for modeling and commercial experience.  I think she would be a good fit (and also might want to go to Portland) and would like to figure out a way to get her.  She would be another good candidate for a phone call.

Chris Ahn - He had already committed to rotate through Power Structuring and was scheduled to begin following return from his honeymoon in a couple of weeks.  He is reasonably interested in our opportunity (and following that by going to Portland to work in Tim's group) but had concerns about walking away from his commitment to structuring.  By the time he left he was almost ready to join us but wanted to think about it some more.  He is definitely someone that we could sway with a call from the right person.
