We are undecided still as to what aspect of Colorado we would like to use this year, however, we are interested in potentially using your photo. Plesae email or call us to let us know if you would be interested in allowing us to use this photo for our cover. We would give credit to your work on the frist pge of the Directoy. We typically will put the title of the photo, your name, company (if applicable) and a website or email address. Hopefully this is somethig you are intersted in. If you are, I will let the CEO know for when we choose which photo to use. I really appreciate your time. If you are not interested, please just shoot us a quick email to let us know. Thanks again and have a terrific day.

Hello Erin,
I came across your profile and it lead me to your great blog, and needless to say your resume as well. I am sorry to write this message on your blog (you can f course delete it), but I wanted to see if you would potentially be interested in a consulting role with one of the leading life sciences consulting firms in the U.S.? They have an open position for a program analyst, who is interested in working with various private industry and government agencies (HHS, DOD, and the EPA) developing policies and countermeasures against biological attacks. Even if you personally aren’t interested, I thought perhaps you may be able to recommend someone for the position.
Thanks,
Michael Dennis
