<b>Subject:</b> [HamWAN PSDR] My Resignation as Director and Chairman of the Board</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">Dear HamWAN Community,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have had the honor of serving as a Director on the Board for HamWAN since early 2014, and as Chairman since 2015. Over the years the HamWAN network has had a lot of growth in both community and footprint, and I’m extremely proud of the work
the team has done, the capabilities we’ve built, and the partnerships we’ve forged. The last year saw some significant challenges to a number of local amateur radio groups, including HamWAN. We’ve weathered through them reasonably well, and I look forward
to seeing how HamWAN continues to grow in the future.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">However, with the increase in responsibilities in my personal life, as well as the growth of my family over the last few years, the time I am able to dedicate to HamWAN has diminished, and I’m unable to give it the attention it deserves. As such
I am resigning from the board of directors effective today. I plan to remain part of the community, and continue to help with the technical management of the network as my time allows. I will of course be happy to answer questions and be available to the team
to help in the transition, but it’s time for someone else to take the reins.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I ask that if you have any business with HamWAN and have been dealing with me directly, please direct your messages to
<a href="mailto:netops@hamwan.org" class="">netops@hamwan.org</a> for Technical Issues/Questions, and
<a href="mailto:board@hamwan.org" class="">board@hamwan.org</a> for Administrative items, rather than sending them to me directly.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I thank you all sincerely for the support you’ve provided to me and the project over the years, and I look forward to continuing to follow along as part of the membership.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Sincerely,</div>
<div class="">Nigel Vander Houwen</div>
