I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share some significant news regarding my position within the institution. Today, I received formal notification that due to ongoing fiscal challenges, my position as the Associate Dean of Library Services
has been eliminated. This decision is part of a larger restructuring initiative aimed at streamlining our operations, which will see the library department transitioning to report directly under the oversight of the Dean of Instruction, effective August 29,
2025.</div>

Regrettably, this change means that I will no longer be able to fulfill my role as the state Chair of the Library Leadership Council (LLC). It has truly been a privilege to work alongside each of you and to collaborate on initiatives that support our shared
goals in library services and education. I want to extend my heartfelt wishes for continued success to all members of the council and the institutions you represent. </div>
