Good evening. As some of you may or may not have heard, Eddie DeLisle has stepped away from the role of NNM RVP. Effective April 1st I will step into that role. This situation was not ideal for anyone nor was it planned. I learned of it this past Friday when our National President, Paul Rinaldi, called me and asked me to consider the filling the position. After consulting with my family, I decided to accept the job and assume the role.
On 4/1, Derek Adams will take the role of FacRep and I have decided to immediately recuse myself from any final decision making for the local as far as direction or reconstitution of the E Board. I am confident by what I’ve witnessed that the E Board is more than capable to lead.
This was one of the most difficult decisions that I’ve had to make in my life. I love this local. All I ever wanted was to try and make you all proud and serve you all the best way that I could. I will always be grateful for the E Board that I had the honor to work with and the opportunity that you all have afforded me. This is a bittersweet conclusion to my tenure as ZSE FacRep. Please take care of yourselves and this local. I am humbly and eternally grateful.
