To all DCRRC club members,
Unfortunately, I feel that I can no longer properly discharge my special responsibilities as President of the club, which includes being in general charge of the business, affairs, and property of the club. Circumstances which I have indicated to the Board have arisen which prevent me from properly monitoring the club activities for which I am putatively responsible and therefore for personal reasons, and in the best interests of the club, I hereby resign, effective at 10 a.m. on Saturday, November 7, 2009.
The new President will be Karol Murray, the current Vice President of Operations. I have already spoken with her about this. Karol has been very active in the club and on the board, and she is a past recipient of the Justine Peet Volunteer of the Year Award. She will be a fine and capable successor and she has my complete confidence.
I leave behind a club that is even stronger than when I assumed the presidency, with several important associations and programs either implemented or expanded during my tenure. It has been my honor and pleasure to serve both the club members and the Washington running community for the past several years as a volunteer coach, as the director for several club training programs, as a board member and as club President. I am especially proud that I am a past recipient of the Justine Peet Volunteer of the Year Award.
I will naturally support Karol’s transition in any way I can, and I can be reached at peterlamberton@yahoo.com. Thank you for your continued support of the club.
Peter
