Hi Mary (Amber),
Great to know you're heading to DC for the fly-in - how about this instead:
My immediate Director, Ryan Bradeen will be representing Avista on the fly-in this year as well. I chatted with him about it this morning, and thought it would be a natural opportunity for you all to connect on the topics suggested (Wildfire/Large Load) while
in DC.
Would that work for you and Commissioner Waldref as an alternate to us all searching for a time on the calendar?
If there are follow up questions or conversation, Garrett and I are still happy to be available after the fact, but thought that may be a much easier way to naturally connect, and you'd have the opportunity to meet some of our larger team at the same time.
Let me know your thoughts - if that works, I'll let you and Ryan Bradeen (CC'd) coordinate the finer details.
Sincerely,
Ryan Arnold

Hi Ryan – unfortunately those times won’t work for my schedule. I am free all day on April 17th if that would work for you?
Thanks!

Hi Ryan, happy Friday!
Commissioner Waldref does not have availability until May, but she would be very interested to hear about any updates from Avista, particularly about wildfire. I would be happy to meet with you in April if you had availability?
Thanks –
Mary

Hi Commissioner Waldref,
I hope you’ve been doing well.
As we head into spring, I thought it might be a good time for us to reconnect. There are a few things on Avista’s radar, including preparations for wildfire season and the
increase in large‑load and data center inquiries, that I’d value your perspective on. These topics are coming up more frequently in the community, and it seems like a good opportunity for a two‑way conversation since they carry importance for the broader region
and its residents, as well as Avista. I also appreciate hearing what’s top of mind for our public officials, so it felt like a good time to touch base regardless.
Would you be open to meeting for coffee in the next few weeks? I’m happy to meet at Cedar Coffee again if that works for you. I can send over a few date and time options
that fit my schedule, or I’m glad to work around yours. Happy to coordinate with Mary if that’s easiest.
I’d also like to bring my colleague, Garrett Brown, who manages our Large Load Interconnect process if that's ok. I think he’d add helpful context around what we’re seeing
with recent large‑load inquiries and how we’re fielding them as utility.
Thanks for the consideration, I look forward to the opportunity to catch up.
Sincerely,
Ryan Arnold
