Matthew Taylor thanks RSA-US Retiring Trustees

With the recent election of four new RSA-US trustees*,  a number of long-serving trustees have now cycled off the US Board into ex officio positions.  Founding President David Diebold and Founding Trustee Janet Sutter, have both served since 1991 when Fellows of the RSA in the United States was incorporated.  Carole Franco, Don McCubbrey, Braxton Moncure, Ed Reilly and current Deputy Chairman Robin Thompson have also now taken up ex officio positions and will continue to take lead roles in their respective regions and/or fields of expertise.  I am so very grateful to them all for their commitment to the RSA and their unstinting support over the years. 

Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, writes: "May I just add a note of personal thanks to those Trustees about to step down.  All volunteers, they have, as Lynn said, given very generously of their time (and in countless other ways) to the development of the RSA in the US and can all be very proud of what they have achieved.  I was delighted to hear that they are all keen to remain involved.” 

*For details of the newly appointed trustees – Henry Timms, Haris Hromic, Howard Learner and David Turner, and continuing trustees Peter Peyser and Susan Steele, please View list of Board members.  The Board will meet to appoint officers for the year ahead on March 24, 2011.
