So long, Tina

Dear Colleagues:

This is to inform you that I will be resigning from ASTD to pursue other opportunities, effective November 1, 2003.

I leave with a sense of pride in what all of us, together, have accomplished these past few years. Most of all, I feel especially fortunate to have been associated with so many extraordinary individuals who are dedicated to this remarkable profession. I will miss the personal contact with all of you who have been both my colleagues and my inspiration.

I’ve had the good fortune to have met with many of you in locations around the world. What I saw was a community of people -- highly skilled, volunteering, reaching out, giving selflessly of themselves. If any group of people could be a model for the world, you are it. As I’ve said many times, you are truly special!

I want to thank you for all you’ve done and the support you’ve provided. It’s been a remarkable experience, a voyage of discovery, and one that I’ve enjoyed tremendously. It’s been a privilege to know you, to work with you, and to have shared this journey with you. I wish you all continued success.

Sincerely,

Tina Sung
