<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104126486"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk75539397"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104128366">I wanted to inform everyone that I would be leaving the SC affiliate as I am moving from South Carolina.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104126486"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk75539397"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104128366">My time in the SC affiliate has been up and down to say the least. There have been a lot of positives and this affiliate
has much potential, but considering the discrimination and other issues have experienced, there is a lot of work to be done.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104126486"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk75539397"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104128366">As I have always said, as members of the SC affiliate, you deserve to know what your leaders have been up to, that
is the only way they can be held accountable. Advocating for more open board meetings, pushing for the other boards of the federation to be more transparent in their meetings and announcing elections, and asking for hybrid options both for meetings and elections
are important issues to keep in mind. Also, if you are unable to attend in-person events, you are just as valuable as those who are able to attend in person. If this organization can accept your financial contributions virtually, it should also accept your
participation on every level virtually. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104126486"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk75539397"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104128366">It was such an honor for me to attend the NFB of SC’s State Convention last year, and even more of an honor for me
to receive your support for an at large board position. You are always welcome to reach out to me any time, and I am willing to serve as long as needed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104126486"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk75539397"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104128366">I want to thank a few people who made my time in the affiliate manageable.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104126486"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk75539397"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104128366">Elizabeth Rouse and Anna Price are 2 of the best friends a person could have. They have always supported me, and I
could never repay what they have done for me. Seriously, I don’t know what I would do without them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104126486"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk75539397"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104128366">Steve and Shannon Cook were the ones who brought me to the SC affiliate. The 2 hardest working people in the NFB of
SC always made themselves available for me when I had questions or concerns. They are not appreciated enough. I feel that sometimes Steve and Shannon’s willingness to help out is not just underappreciated, but expected and we should all take more time in thanking
them, and others who give their time to our movement.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104126486"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk75539397"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104128366">Andrew Adams for always brightening up my day. The brother works so hard behind the scenes. His drive and passion
will make him an even more important piece of the Sc affiliate’s success in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104126486"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk75539397"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk104128366">My brother Derique Simon who convinced me to stay in the affiliate and run for a board position when I was ready to
take my ball and go home.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
