[NCUC-EC] Finalizing NCUC Webinar Plans and EC Conforming Speakers, and Invitation

[Pedro de Perdigão Lana]

Hi all,

Considering we have no speaker from the LAC region, I'd like to suggest Lia
Hernandez, considering she reached me out interested in talking on our
Quarterly Webinar. I just need to know now if she would be comfortable with
this subject.

Cordially,
