Neal and Chris,
Thank you for your time and efforts in advocating for this great space in the financial services industry. I know you both have a lot on your plates already. Only through efforts such as yours can we expect to defeat well-funded interest groups.
With appreciation,
Brian Hamburger, Managing Director
