<br>
<br>
I am sorry that you learned about me resigning my position as EPDP Chair by being copied on the resignation notice. It’s not good form but I thought it better to let my boss know first so that he doesn’t hear it from someone else.
<br>
<br>
I am glad to have worked with you - getting to know some of you for the first time and some of you better than I did before this. I will continue to lead and aid the transition of leadership however it is required. I am also happy to chat informally about any
topic. <br>
<br>
During the last several months, many of you provided signs of support - small and large, inadvertent and intentional. They were always appreciated and important to me, and never went unnoticed. I also appreciated the criticism that was offered, as it was always
constructive. <br>
<br>
To the Support Team, you’ll hear more from me later. <br>
<br>
I’ll see you on the next call or in Kobe. <br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Kurt<br>
<br>
