From me:

It is with mixed feelings that I am retiring at the end of 2016. It has been my privilege to have worked for the association since 1984 and to have served as CEO since 2006. But for every leader and every organization there is a time for change.

The Board of Directors is engaged in a robust process to select a new CEO, as described in the job posting. The new CEO will indeed find that Yankee Farm Credit is a vibrant, growing organization with a diverse and flourishing customer base, excellent staff, engaged Board of Directors, and strong financials. I encourage qualified candidates to apply.

The upcoming annual meetings will be my last. I hope to see many readers of this blog at one of our four regional meetings.
