IMPORTANT WEATHER STATEMENT:

Most members of the AELL office team are located in Texas and experiencing significant difficulties with communication and connectivity due the the extreme winter weather event this week.  As a result much of our office functionality is either much reduced or down. It appears these challenges will persist through the rest of the work week.  We appreciate your patience and understanding and look forward to resuming normal business on Monday, February 22nd.  Stay safe!
