Hi guys,
As long as everyone who indicated they are going to be there can be there, we will just have a quorum today. I just got off the phone with Rich, who is en route to a family emergency. That will make 3 absent, 4 present. He said if he needs to be, he can come in, but hopefully we will not need him to do so. If anyone else can't make it this morning, please let us know!
Thank you,
Brande Overbey

SWAN Board,
I announced this to SWAN staff yesterday. Brande's last board meeting will be this Friday. I do not have enough emoticons to express my sadness!

Subject: Brande News
Hi SWAN team,
I have some bittersweet news for you. Brande Overbey has accepted a new full-time position as the Community Relations Director for Anderson Animal Shelters, and has submitted a resignation from her position here at SWAN.
I have made arrangements to transition Brande's duties temporarily within SWAN's administration. I will utilize Brande for a few hours weekly over the next month or so, along with HR Source (formerly Management Association). I will share more details when they become available, such as the HR consultant that SWAN will contract with. The day that Brande steps down from her full-time role at SWAN is Monday, August 21.
Brande and I have worked together for the past 5 years. She was instrumental in helping us bring our organization out of the period of independence and into the one that makes SWAN fun to work in today. She was key in getting us into our new facility, and helping us with whatever project arose along the way.
Over these next two weeks, Dawne and I will work with her to make sure we have all of our internal operations covered and ready for her last day full-time.
Please wish her the best of luck at her new position. She will get to work with dogs and sloths (and people)!
~A.

SWAN Board,
I can include this in the September packet, but I thought you would like to see the letter I received today.

Hi SWAN Board,
Can I have a yes/no for attendance for next Friday's Board Meeting? We've heard from Julie and Jamie that they will not be in attendance, so wanted to ensure quorum.
Thanks,
