Just wanted to check, I know you're an executive vice president of eleven ninety nine representing employees within H and H.

Have you asked for guidance from the conflicts of interest board just about how you might do your job alongside doing H?

Initially when I was appointed last time I was on the verge of changing titles and that was brought up to them that I was switching this to this title.

And what I represent are community based organizations and pharmacies like Rite Aid and Walgreens which do not intersect with this at all.

And if ever I am in the room or I know something's on the calendar to be discussed that might just potentially somehow even minutely you know intersect with November, I I would remove myself from that conversation completely.
