public relations professional. Feel free to adapt to your situation.

"Entertaining our clients in a meaningful way is a strong tradition for First Guaranty Bank," said Julian "Jay" Fant, III. "Treating our clients to a special and timely message on leadership in times that demand leadership - who better than Abe to teach us about handling the pressing issues of today," he said.
