No, thank you!

Thank you mentioning me in the July newsletter. I resigned my position as board secretary with sadness, but for a very happy reason. I got married in March and moved to the Charlotte area in April. I continue to work with my clients in the Triad area and have expanded my business into the Charlotte market. I’m going to miss all of the Tarheel members and  hope our paths will cross often in the future. I sincerely value my time on the board, the friendships I’ve developed and the many opportunities the chapter has afforded me through the years. I will certainly do all I can to help the new secretary settle in.

I may be gone from the Tarheel chapter but I’m not gone from PRSA. I am transferring my membership to the Charlotte chapter. I trust they’ll be as terrific as all of you and hope I can continue to contribute to PRSA as time moves forward.

All the best,

Leslie Brooks Sidman
