<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Hello Chapter
Leaders!</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Time has come
for me to move on at ISOC-NY. I have admin'd the chapter,
including website and social media, in one form or another,
all of this century, much of that time in support of our
previous President David Solomonoff. When David himself
stepped down in 2016, there was no other obvious candidate and
I was duly elected to replace him.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">At the end of
last year I organized an election and was able (at our 20th
Anniversary event) to persuade Greg Shatan to stand for the
board. Even then I had him spotted as a potential leader for
the Chapter. He was duly elected and, in the time since, has
proved himself to be every bit as worthy as I imagined.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Thus I have
duly resigned as President of ISOC-NY, as of Aug 31, and Greg
has been appointed my replacement. Please give him a welcome!
(if concerned about congratulatory emails filling up people's
mailboxes, you can do it directly at <a href="mailto:greg@isoc-ny.org" target="_blank">greg@isoc-ny.org</a> ) </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I will also
step down from my other responsibilities at the Chapter. Greg
has a strong board and I am sure will make the best of a clean
slate to work with. I believe this is an important process,
not just for ISOC-NY but as an example for other Chapters -
those with long-term leaders - who might benefit from a
similar change. Ultimately, it ensures sustainability, and
provides opportunity.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">However, you
will not be rid of me! Apart from my streaming activity, about
which I will write elsewhere, I currently admin the Disabled
and Special Needs Chapter (in rejuvenation). We are actively
working on transitioning it to a SIG. If you are interested in
being a part of the effort, please join at <a href="https://a11ysig.org" target="_blank">https://a11ysig.org</a></div>
