I don’t quite trust my decision making at the moment so I have been talking to others about leaving doggie rescue altogether. Dad has borne the brunt of this lately during the weekly trip to church. It has afterall been part of my end game for over 12 months now, to get stuck in and try and improve things, then get out. I don’t think there would ever be a good time for me to leave, but now seems right for me. I spent a large part of the day yesterday, composing a resignation letter that didn’t make me sound like a nutcase. I think I finally got it right. I will now try and tie up as many loose ends as I can, and hand it all over at the end of the month.
My letter of resignation:
This is to advise you that I am stepping down from my position as Treasurer and acting Secretary of BCDR effective 30 November 2010.
The main reason for this decision is the difficulty I have in maintaining a healthy balance between the demands of BCDR work and my other commitments; and after two and a half years I think it is time for me to move on.
I will be sad to leave my work with the committee behind. Since the new committee formed earlier this year I believe we had begun to make progress in building up a supportive structure for the group’s work.
This work is worthwhile and you have built up a good reputation. I am confident you will continue to find support in the community for your work and wish you well in future.
It is interesting to read the various highs and lows of past posts in this category, and in particular this one back in May last year!
I did it, I handed in my resignation in person and a weight has lifted.
