Hello NFB of Ohio,
As I have shared with  President Payne, I am writing this morning to let you know that I have accepted a job opportunity which will take me out of the state of Ohio, and therefore, I have had to resign my position as Vice President of the Ohio Affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind.
As of December 2, 2019, I will be the Community Outreach Coordinator for the Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco. This is a newly created position, and I will be honored to be the ambassador for an organization that fully embodies the philosophy of the NFB. If any of you were able to hear Bryan Bashin’s speech at national convention,  you will know what I mean.
As much as I have the excitement of moving into this new career, I have a myriad of emotions that go along with it. What you need to know is, my life would never have been the same, had I never met each and every one of you. For the last sixteen years of being a member of NFBO, I feel that all my experiences with you have made it possible for me to secure this job, and even more than that, to turn my dream into a reality!
I do not like saying goodbye, so I will just say, “We will talk!” I do want to thank you for the support you have given me, for the lessons you have taught me and for the love that you have shown me. I look forward to hearing about all the great things that the NFBO is doing, and I gently pass the torch to the new Vice President, whomever that may be. You have a great president at the helm.  I know how much he cares about you and how much he cares about the NFB.
