<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">As I step into retirement tomorrow, you are all on my thoughts tonight. It is amazing how much stronger Oregon is because you all have shown up every day on behalf of your communities to make your downtowns
more vibrant. There are so many projects, events, individuals that are noteworthy. I can close my eyes and see images of all the incredible things you have achieved and how collectively we are in a much, much better place than 16 years ago.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">But the thing I am so incredibly proud of is the support you give each other. We truly have a Network that supports each other and makes the work that much easier through tough times and our hearts are lighter
when we get to celebrate with each other.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">I am so incredibly grateful to have worked alongside you -you have inspired me with your dreams, your tenacity, and your creativity. I leave this position with a full heart and as a much better person.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
