> Morning All,

> It is with a grateful heart that I want to extend congratulations to Chris Smith on his retirement from public service to the Commonwealth.  Chris has had a rich history starting with the Bicentennial Commission touching many Cabinets and completing his service in the Office for the Blind.  Please join me in recognizing his many years of service not only to the Commonwealth, but his country.  Those of you who know Chris, know he is not one to stand on ceremony and asked that we not have a formal farewell event.
>  
> We are in the process of securing an Acting Executive Director for the Office and a search for Chris’ replacement will commence in the near future.  In the meantime, please know that I will do my best to keep the work of the agency moving forward.  If there are items that need my attention, please share them with Allison Flanagan and Michelle McElmurray.  Also, I do have an office space in the CHR Building now.  It is located behind the JTF Conference Room on the second floor.  Please feel free to come by with an issue or concern.
>  
> In closing, I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every member of the OFB team for keeping the mission of the agency first and foremost in all that you do.

> Truly,
