> 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.

> 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.
> 
> 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 greg at isoc-ny.org ) 
> 
> 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.
> 
> 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 https://a11ysig.org
