After 16-1/2 years of building the FCNL network around the country, bringing us all together, holding our hands when we were worried, crying with us when we were sad, and -- mostly -- laughing with us when we succeeded (and even when we didn't), Kathy Guthrie is leaving FCNL. She had planned to retire at the end of 2009, but is leaving earlier because the global economic crisis is forcing FCNL to downsize, restructure our work and discontinue the position of Field Program Secretary. We're downsizing, but our critical work of helping people around the country engage with Washington will continue.
We at FCNL want to invite you -- the people whom Kathy cares about the most -- to help us thank her for all that she has done and to let her know that we will be continuing to work together in the future – though it will be different. We've set up this blog where you can leave comments, a page for you to make a video message about how Kathy has affected your life, and a place where you can give a contribution to FCNL to help with our work around the country.
You can share your thoughts in the comments.
