<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Friends and Colleagues,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After careful consideration, I have decided to take a position with Global Aquaculture Alliance in Portsmouth, New Hampshire beginning 1/29/18. For this reason, I am stepping down as Regional Aquaculture Extension Specialist with NCRAC
at the end of this week. I will continue working with Michigan State University through this transition period; however, I will be traveling with limited email access. My new role at
<a href="https://www.bapcertification.org/About" target="_blank">GAA BAP</a> will be as a Program Integrity Technical Specialist.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wish to express sincere gratitude to all whom I have worked with over the past several years. Your dedication to aquaculture development is exemplary, and I have enjoyed working with all of you.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To all I say, continue to strive to produce aquaculture products, sustainably, in all types of systems.<br>
Keep your drive and passion going strong! </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wish you all my very best!</p>
