INTERIM PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Since being asked to take on the role of Interim President in August 2000, I have found the position to be a challenging one. I want to thank the staff, and my fellow Board members, for being patient and supportive as I learned some of the duties and responsibilities of this position. For personal reasons, I have decided, however, to withdraw my name for the position in the upcoming May elections.
