Well, the time has come for me to write my last article. After 31 years and 4 months as a branch officer, I have decided to resign my position as Executive Vice President to pursue another opportunity with the NALC. For your information, I have accepted a part-time position as an Assigned Assistant for National Business Agent Shawn Boyd, when his office is relocated from Houston to Flower Mound in the near future. Also be advised, that President Lewis has agreed to allow me to continue to serve the branch as a Formal A for some of our smaller Associate Offices. I will also continue to be responsible for New Employee Orientation and will continue to represent our members within the EEO Redress Process.

As Recording Secretary for 13 years, President for 9 years, and the last 8 plus years as Executive Vice President, I must admit that it is going to feel a little weird not sitting at the podium area during branch meetings as I have for the last 376 months!

In closing, I would like to thank the membership for allowing me to serve as an officer of NALC Lone Star Branch 132 for all those years. I always took my many responsibilities very seriously, and always gave my very best effort.

I look forward to seeing you somewhere down the road.
