Board Member Resignation

Hello AHRMA Members,

On behalf of the 2012 AHRMA Board of Directors, I am sad to inform our Membership that Brenda Cox, our 2012 President-Elect has made the difficult decision to resign her position from the 2012 AHRMA Board of Directors. Brenda’s personal decision was made after much careful thought, consideration and concern for AHRMA and its members.

Brenda is admired by all for her many contributions to AHRMA. First, she became involved with AHRMA as a contributing Speaker; next a Programs committee member; then Vice President of the Communications Committee in 2011; now facilitator and participant of the Stepping Stones to Enhanced Leadership program; and President-Elect 2012.

Brenda will indeed be missed by all of the Board and Our Membership!

Lori Rohre, our 2012 AHRMA President, has created a Nominating Committee to begin the process of identifying and interviewing potential candidates for Brenda’s replacement, as well as for other incoming Board positions for the 2013 Board of Directors. The appointment of a new President-Elect for the remainder of the 2012 term, with such a few short months for planning and preparation for the 2013 Presidency, could create many challenges for the new President and Our Chapter.

Many contingency plans and possible solutions were discussed with other AHRMA Past Presidents and current Board members. I presented the following motion:

In the event that the Board and nominating committee are not able to find a suitable President-Elect to fulfill the remainder of the 2012 term, and subsequently the 2013 President; Lori Rohre, 2012 AHRMA President, will be asked to continue as President for the 2013 term.

This motion was seconded, voted upon and approved unanimously by the 2012 AHRMA Board, and Lori has graciously accepted this responsibility, for the good of our organization.

Thank you to Lori, and the 2012 Board for all you do for AHRMA.

Yours in service,

Wendy Chance, CTS
2012 Past President
