PPCC List - Convention

[JOHN DAWSON]

Wow. Sorry to read this.
Deja vu all over again.
Did we just warp back in time to 1980 whilst in prep for the 1981 CORSA convention? :)

Communications were sent to PPCC and to the national board that were premature.  I stand by my responses to the club emails, as I was trying to do the right thing for the club, as a President should.  The board had not decided anything as of yet, and per our By-Laws, the President does not have a vote on such matters.  The President is responsible for assuring the voice of club members are represented.  It is up to the board to vote on final decisions after understanding all the facts and processes.

I reached out to see what I could or should have done differently, but the club member did not respond.  I did have others write and say “well said, thanks for the update”.  Thank you to those who reached out encouragingly.

So, it is with great sadness in light of all this chaos that I am letting you know I am stepping down as PPCC president effective immediately. I would not want my actions or words to hurt either club, or any of the members in PPCC or RMC.
