We’re losing three good people as of the end of the year, but I thought now would be a good time to mention their names and add a comment or two from me:

• Pat Wright – Pat is quiet, thoughtful, and worked hard to make PASS good for volunteers, especially at the Summit. He’s dropping back to a less demanding level of volunteering, but expect to see him in and around PASS events going forward
• Greg Low – Greg did a great job on building chapters, and did a lot to help me see the challenges/values that come from taking an international view of PASS. Like Pat he plans to stay engaged at a reduced effort level and may run for the board again in a year or two.
• Kevin Kline – Kevin has spent 10 years building PASS, doing about every job there is. He’s been a good mentor to me as well (though I don’t always listen!). Kevin will be taking a break I think, available for conversation but enjoying some time to just focus on job and family for a while.

I appreciate all that each of you did and the things you did for PASS. I know it was hard work and not everyone saw all that work, but you’ve moved things forward and I hope the rest of us can continue that work. Thanks!
