</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">I know I/they would love to work with you to onboard you as an Issuer Organization of GeoBadges.</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">The first step is setting up a google hangout where we can walk through the model. Then you and your team can begin constructing the badges themselves. Some of the initial ideas you shared sound pretty good!</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">I know AGS is also looking for supporting Sponsors to help improve and grow the platform, so if anyone comes to mind on that front I'm sure AGS would appreciate as well.</div>
