There are so many people that I need to thank for this time that I have spent leading the Academy.

I have attempted, and I hope you will agree, to provide a quality of leadership that equals what the Academy has enjoyed over time, and I have tried to address the concerns and issues that many of you raised. I know that the new leadership will do an exceptional job because of the time, support, and effort of the membership. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Changes are occurring in the Academy.
