I felt with all the difficulties and stresses facing our Centres and Members it was an inappropriate time to leave.</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks to all who sent me such lovely messages on my retirement, they really lifted my spirits. Whilst I totally agree that we need new blood on the Board, I’m sure you’ll also agree it is a time where it would be unfair to expect people without experience at Board level to embark on a new management journey.</div><div><br></div><div>I’m looking forward to an exciting new RDA(NSW) year albeit it filled with extra challenges. I can assure you that I will endeavour, along with other Directors, to assist the Association through this difficult time with enthusiasm and as much energy as is possible.</div><div><br></div><div>Yours in RDA,<br><br><div dir="ltr"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Jan Pike </span><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Hon Director/Executive Officer </span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Riding for the Disabled Association (NSW)</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> <a href="tel:0416525192" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="1">0416525192</a></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><img width="200" height="72" src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1GuzhI2-pOVnCREKALPyZVkSiaD4e5iLX&revid=0BwnrlhM7KXT6czhnbUx6SDZzNFhodEthdWFaVkJpcjkxZ3FNPQ" data-unique-identifier=""></span></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
