I did not plan to have things happen quite the way they turned out, but realized it really is for the best. I’m now free of the stress and pressures that were wearing down my body as a result of running, managing and supporting the North America Outdoor Institute. And so on October 12th, I completed my last class as the Executive Director and have now stepped away.
I am confident the organization is in good hands with Andy Romano now leading the charge and I pray with his guidance, NAOI will continue on long after I have gone. For now I will continue to support NAOI by helping to write grants, marketing and stories.
I am excited about the future and look forward to the next chapter of my life! And that of the North America Outdoor Institute!
