say, I’ve felt a since of guilt for my need to step back from the commission during the 5 months and 7 interviews
<b><i>(whew)</i></b> So, for that I’m sorry and you can count on me to be back in full capacity in my role with the commission. Here to support and help as best as possible. I’m honored and humbled to work alongside the awesome Leaders of the commission! This
was not a personal win but one for the WHOLE community and I’ll never forget that.
