[Chapter-delegates] Please welcome new ISOC-NY President Greg Shatan

[Flávio Rech Wagner]

Welcome Greg! I wish you a very successful work as new ISOC-NY President.

Flavio R. Wagner
President ISOC Brazil


> Hello Chapter Leaders!
>
> 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 <mailto: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
