After careful consideration and due to a recent shift in my company’s strategic focus, I believe it is prudent for me to step away from Execs. As my attention is now directed toward a broader spectrum of marketing, I foresee a potential conflict with Barnard’s business, which I want to avoid. It is with regret that I submit my resignation from the association, though I feel it is my responsibility to ensure no overlap in interests. I would very much appreciate being considered for re-entry should space become available or if my business direction changes to no longer present a conflict. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the group and will miss the camaraderie and professional connections. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this esteemed community. (DREW LINTZ)
