## Notes
- Signs in correspondence as "Anna Hawthorne-Pennington" but is referred to by all of Anna Pennington / Anna Hawthorne-Pennington in the corpus depending on the document. Both spellings appear on the same 02/24 PO ("Anna Pennington" on the header; the email signature is "Anna Hawthorne-Pennington").
- The corpus distinguishes her role from [[Wanda Worley]]'s: Worley as Procurement Official on the original 2024 contract / initial PO, Hawthorne-Pennington as Procurement Manager on the 2025 follow-on PO. Whether the title difference signals organizational seniority, role specialization, or a personnel change between 2024 and 2025 is not visible from this batch.
- Her substantive correspondence (the 2026-02-26 receipt-confirmation email) is the corpus's only direct documentary anchor for her voice. The pattern is routine: PO transmittal, receipt-confirmation request, professional sign-off.
