Dear William,

I'd like to share some news with you on behalf of SightConnection.

In May, the Board of Directors offered me the position of President and CEO, and I accepted. While I have worked with, and met many of you over the last year as the interim CEO, during that time it is not an exaggeration to say that I fell in love with this organization and the community we serve.
