Subject line: Request to attend MBA's State and Local Workshop

I’m writing to ask for approval to attend MBA’s State and Local Workshop, taking place April 13-14 in Washington, D.C. Here is a link to the conference website: mba.org/statelocal

The Workshop is a unique event and offers valuable sessions designed specifically for leaders of state and local associations from all across the country. Most importantly, the Workshop is the only chance each year to connect in person and work with volunteers, professional staff, and other key stakeholders in the community on the challenges this network faces and to work together to find solutions. In particular, I’d like to focus on finding takeaways that would make our state (and/or local) association stronger:

• [add business challenge] List the top 3 things you’d like to learn!
• [add business challenge]
• [add business challenge]
  

Here’s an approximate breakdown of associated event costs:

Meals (2 days at $50): $100

Total: $
