<p dir="ltr">I do understand leadership challenges and as Raymond, Alphonce and others highlighted, resigning wouldn't be a good idea. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I recommend you reach out to your team, find out why they didn't add you to the InSIG team or how you could help. And going forward, ask how you can help, and possibly being proactive on some activities would be helpful. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Otherwise, reconsider your decision.</p>

However, I recently became aware that I was not invited to the important event inSIG 2024 held by the ISOC India Bengaluru Chapter. Being Vice President of ISOC India Bengaluru Chapter, while checking with Adarsh, Secretary ISOC India Bengaluru Chapter, I came to know that I was not included as a part of any committee in inSIG 2024. Further, I was being told that it is decided by some other committee on who should be or not invited to attend inSIG 2024, while some members from ISOC India Bengaluru managed to be a part of all the committees like steering committee, organizing committee, fellowship committee. My question is that being a VP of ISOC India Bengaluru chapter and not allowed to attend the event being conducted by ISOC India Bengaluru Chapter, then what is the need of having a VP in your chapter if it is being controlled by someone else.<br><br><br>This exclusion has led me to reflect on my role and the value I bring to the organization. Being left out of such a significant event has made me feel undervalued and disconnected from the core activities of the organization.<br><br>While this decision was not made lightly, I believe it is in the best interest of both myself and the organization. I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition.<br><br>Thank you for the support and opportunities you have provided me last month. I wish the organization continued success in all its future endeavors.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Sheikh Raashid Javid<br>Ex-VP ISOC India Bengaluru Chapter<br></div></div>
