Hi Linda,
Thanks for clarifying but was there an announcement sent to Board-L about
your resignation being revoked? I probably missed it since the board mail
has been so busy.
Like I said the last I heard, you had resigned. If that is no longer the
case then all is fine. I was simply asking about your official capacity in
the EC.
Kelly

> Morning Kelly. How curious - I can't imagine where you got that idea. I
did try to resign as Chair and intended to move to the Sec position.
However, the EC folks did not ratify that by vote so I'm back in the Chair
slot and Sunny Newsome is back as Sec.
