The reason for my resignation is that the meeting times for the Task Force seriously conflict with my primary hours of practice. When I went to the interview for the Task Force, I believe you asked if the candidates were willing to make the time commitment necessary to complete the Task Force mandate in the next six months. I took that what you asked to heart and believed I would be able to fulfill the commitment. However, I mistakenly pictured meetings occurring earlier in the day when I have significantly more flexibility in my schedule. This is obviously not possible for the other members of the Task Force who find their obligations in conflict with earlier meetings. I apologize for the inconvenience my decision may cause. I have been discussing these concerns with Paul Crissey who is aware of my decision. I waited to learn if the committee could change to a more varied or earlier time frame which was decided last meeting. I hope that by withdrawing early enough in the process an alternative applicant may fulfill my appointment. I will look forward to participating in the public hearings of the Task Force and to the recommendations of the panel. Sincerely, le amer-Turner, Psy.D.
