Why did your MEC go meet in Dallas when the proposal was being delivered in DC? Do you really think it was just for a meeting with the new CEO who suddenly cancelled before any of them had even left from home to go to Dallas? Who else was in Dallas at the same time?
Who else was in Dallas the last time (4 months ago) that your MEC also went to Dallas?
Make your own decision. I can lead you to water, but I can't drink it for you.
