Today, I resigned from two different boards and I will be stepping off the Boys and Girls Club Board at the end of the year.

These are all great organizations with worthy causes, but after the last year of renovating and selling a house and building another, planning for my son's bar mitzvah, doing the travel hockey thing, having the busiest year yet at work, and serving as the President of the Boys and Girls Club, which requires A LOT of time and energy, I'm just burned out and running on empty.

For much of the time, at many of those board meetings, I just felt like an empty seat. I have nothing left to give.

Remember to give yourself some time to recharge and get that mental and physical energy back, from time-to-time. We all need to take a step back and recharge for our own mental health and we, along with the organizations we serve, will be better for it.

I'm sure I'll be right back to it in no time. I thank Techfrederick, Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County and Onmissionit for the opportunity each gave to me to participate and help to make our local community a little bit better.

I am excited to announce that I will soon be taking over as the Chair of the Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County Board of Directors.

Timika Jones Thrasher has done an excellent job in this role this past year as the Club has continued to navigate various challenges, such as the Covid 19 pandemic. She will be moving into the interim CEO position as our current CEO, Lisa Aubin, will be moving on from the Club to pursue new opportunities.

The Club greatly appreciates Lisa's efforts in the role of the Club's CEO and she leaves the Club in a better place than she found it.

I think we are all excited for what lies ahead as we continue to work to enable our community's youth to become productive, successful and caring adults.
