Subject: [airsnetworker] I am retiring from the field
My dear
friends and colleagues,
I have
made the decision to retire from the field of information and referral service.
I left my job as Director of Jewish information and Referral Service 1 ˝
years ago and loved the field so much that I decided that I wanted to continue
attending and training at conferences, be on the Maryland AIRS Board, attend
national AIRS Conferences and be the Friends of AIRS Chair. I also continued to
deliver training and workshops through my own small information and referral
training business.
But the
time has come in my life to pursue other happy courses, such as travel, outings
with my new husband, building my jewelry business, and visiting 9 grandchildren!!
I
can’t tell you how many wonderful memories I have of providing service
and training to our very special I&R community. I have enjoyed myself
immensely putting 200% of myself into my work and receiving back 1,000%.
I am
officially resigning as the Chair of Friends of AIRS and I will not be coming
to the 2010 AIRS Conference. I have loved all of the conferences I have
attended over the past 20 years and have thoroughly enjoyed training and
running the Friends of AIRS parties for the last decade. Together we have
raised the professional standing of the field of information and referral and I
am very proud of my participation in this effort from witnessing the FTC
approval of 2-1-1 to developing training that has been incorporated in the
field’s training manual. The ABC’s of I&R is in my blood
and no matter what, I am sure I will always find some way to use the principles
and philosophy of the field of information and referral in my everyday life.
Francie
Kranzberg has offered to take over as the Chair of the Friends of AIRS. I
know that she will ensure that the Friends of AIRS continues to raise important
scholarship funds through the FOA fantastic party and auction at each
conference.
Thank you
for your friendship, encouragement and respect. I will truly miss all of
all of you and the many friends I have made throughout the country. Please keep
in touch as I am only an email away.
Your
highly energetic and fun-loving colleague J
