From wyc_info at u.washington.edu Mon Mar 24 00:12:58 2025 From: wyc_info at u.washington.edu (WYC Commodore via wyc_info) Date: Mon Mar 24 00:13:44 2025 Subject: [WYC Announce] Co-Commodore Resignation Message-ID: Sailors! Hope everyone is Spring Break-maxxing to their heart's content! With a heavy heart, and effective immediately, I am resigning from my role as co-Commodore of the Washington Yacht Club. I stepped into this position to foster a stronger, more sustainable club where student leadership could thrive. Throughout my term, I have approached this role with utmost dedication, transparency, and a commitment to the club?s long-term success. However, it has become evident that a portion of the club?s leadership, heavily influenced by entrenched legacy dynamics, operates in a way that is misaligned with my values and at odds with the kind of environment I aimed to foster. Under these circumstances, I no longer believe my continued leadership would be productive or meaningful. I extend my thanks to many dedicated members who have supported me, and for the friendships I have built along the way. From late nights in Sieg Hall to Summer evenings at Friday Social Sails, it?s you all who have made this job worthwhile. The mission of the club has incredible potential, and I hope future leaders of the WYC find ways to foster a more sustainable and supportive environment for student sailing. Sail on, *Renee Chien* Co-Commodore of the WYC, 04/23/24?03/23/25 Washington Yacht Club, the student sailing club at UW [image: email attachment.jpg] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
