After much thought and consideration, I have decided that I will not seek re-election to the CASI Board of Directors in September. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as TallyMaster and as a CASI Director. It has been a real treat to see all the cookoffs that CASI sanctions each year and the efforts that everyone puts forth in order to get their paperwork submitted and in on time. I have enjoyed working with my fellow Directors on various projects and especially TICC, one of the greatest events that I have had the privilege of being a part of, in an area of the country that is a real treasure. That doesn’t change the fact that due to a very demanding work schedule I simply do not have the extra time that is required to perform this job and serve on the various committees to the best of my ability and in a manner that the membership deserves. Thank you for your support and understanding.
