Good evening, I just wanted to let everyone on the board know that I resigned tonite. I'm leaving on the best possible terms, and I want to thank all present and past boardmembers for your passionate commitment to making Morgantown a better cycling community. This has made it a pleasure to work with you. My decision was somewhat spontaneous. We were discussing a slate of 3 qualified applicants for 2 positions on the board. My resignation made it possible to recommend them all without taking a vote. I see this as a good thing - as director of Positive Spin my second favorite thing (next to teaching young kids to ride for the first time) is seeing other citizens working together in an effective board as they grow into community leaders.

It makes my decision easier that Positve Spin needs more of my attention and there are only so many hours in a month. The coming months will be critical for building our board so that to continue filling the unmet need we've tapped at the grass roots. It will need to be strong and self-sustaining to help Morgantown meet the 80% reduction in vehicle miles to avoid climate disaster.

Thank you for your passion, enthusiasm and leadership in the past. Good luck to all the board -old and new- as you make the future. And don't hesitate to call anytime I can offer technical, logistical or menu advice. Nick
