Went to the meeting last night. Everyone worked hard to ensure a smooth transition.
It was good though under attended. A steering committee was self-selected and a broad framework for moving forward was sketched out. There is progress and, in the room last night, an ABUNDANCE of good will.
I sent this to BIOEvents today:

Great job guys!
I have a few reference points for what you are doing, but still I know that I am unable to really appreciate how big a decision it is to give over something that you have invested so much time and energy into. Bravo for taking care of yourself after so many years of taking care of everyone else.
I look forward to being an active participant in the new VD (eeewwww!) organization and to supporting the endeavors that the two of you dream up in the YEARS to come.
Much success to you both. It has been earned with an abundance of sweat equity and is well deserved.
