RE: Absence from the Committee on Culture, Youth, Aging, Sports, and Parks Hearing 
 
Dear Senator Bolques, 
 
I am writing to respectfully inform you that, due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict, I will be 
unable to attend today’s hearing on long-term solutions to address youth success. As you know, 
this important discussion will focus on program funding, equity in service delivery, and structural 
barriers that affect access to education, training, and enrichment opportunities. 
 
Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience my absence may cause. I deeply regret 
not being able to participate in what promises to be a valuable conversation, and I truly appreciate 
your understanding in this matter. 
 
Thank you for your consideration. 
 
 
Respectfully, 
 
 
 
Julio Rhymer Sr. 
Director
