Thank you
@GLTHFJ60 @forrest5000 @erymer and everybody who has reached out publicly or privately to offer support and encouragement for my nomination(s), but I have to respectfully decline at this time. The presidency of this next term would likely place too large of a burden on me given the hopeful outcome of a few personal irons in the fire, so to speak. It is for this same reason that I will be vacating the Secretary position once the current term is up. If requested, I will be happy to offer assistance where I can to the next group of BOD members to help continue the running of this club in a direction that tries to offer something for all.
After 4 years on the BOD, I am acutely aware of the labor that goes on behind the scenes of a club like ours, hosting the members and events that we do. It's not always pleasant, and it can sometimes feel like another full-time job, but the work is very important to the life of the club and is balanced with some of the best times and people that a person can know. I feel privileged to have been allowed to do my part of that for ONSC and look forward to still offering something wherever I can.
Thanks for a couple great terms. I look forward to see where the new BOD takes us.
