Hey all! I just wanted to take a moment to apologize for my comms at the TFO meeting. At what I consider the most important moment of my time in TAW I was silenced due to internet issues. Those that know me can guess that it was killing me to not say more. I also want to say thanks to Fox for the elegant words he had as he closed his term as CIC, nothing but pure class.
As of today I become only the third CIC in TAW history and only the second CIC to be elected. That being said what really inspires me is the fact that I won't be the last! I appreciate everyone that took part in the CIC election process, a process that has been exhausting for our TFO members as we have had 5 straight meetings over the past five Sundays. I especially want to thank those of you that took the time to cast your vote. As TAW members we only get this opportunity once every couple of years.
I'm excited about serving the next two years as the CIC of TAW and am looking forward to the challenges we
will face together. I have been entrusted with the direction and future of TAW and I won't let her down at any cost. I will do my part to ensure TAW is here for many years to come and is a better place for those that follow us. For now though this is our time and I say let's make the most of it!!
