Hi Glenn,

I'd love to attend the EMS Safety Course at EMS Today but I'm in another concurrent course. Do you have other dates and locations scheduled?

Thanks

Dear Mr. Leudtke: I am the Executive Director of the Ambulance Association of Pennsylvania. A few of my members saw your presentation at the JEMS Conference earlier this year and recommended you for our leadership conference in October. You will see a friend request from me as I would like to discuss your availability and willingness to travel to Pennsylvania. Thank you!
