Subject line: Request for conference attendance

I’m writing to ask for approval to attend MBA’s National Advocacy Conference (NAC), held April 8-9 in Washington, D.C. The conference is for MBA members and is the largest in-person advocacy event of the year focused on the issues facing the real estate finance industry. Here is a link to the conference website: mba.org/NAC.

It's a once-a-year opportunity to advocate for the issues that are our company's highest priority. By attending, I will be able to meet with our elected officials to make the biggest impact. These are the key policymakers who consider and pass legislation that affects all of us, and we can have a seat at the table to make a difference.

In particular, I’d like to advocate for:
