HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 09132011 - C.24Hi John:
I wanted to let you know that I unfortunately need to resign from the seat that
you appointed me to on the AOD county board. I appreciate very much that
you appointed me to one of your seats late last year. I was thrilled to become
involved with AOD issues at the county level and was looking forward to
making a contribution over the next couple of years. And I am really
disappointed that I will be unable to continue........
I am entering Cal State East Bay's fulltime MSW program this September.
And it turns out that I have a mandatory class every Wednesday afternoon
through next June, which conflicts with the monthly AOD Board meetings.
When I applied to CSUEB's MSW program last fall, I applied to the part-time
program, the classes for which met only on Saturdays. For a number of reasons,
I have now ended up in the fulltime program and have this mandatory class
every Wednesday afternoon. I was surprised they wouldn't excuse me for one
Wednesday a month, but I have asked and they won't make any exceptions! I
do want you to know that had I known last fall that I would have this
scheduling conflict, I would not have applied for a seat on this board.
So please accept my resignation. I believe that Katherine Webster of
Richmond may have applied for an at-large seat on the AOD Board and I
would highly recommend her for this District 1 seat as well!
With best wishes,
