[UPHPU] change

[Wade Preston Shearer]

Group,

I am excited to announce some changes coming to the Utah PHP Users  
Group. After founding the group and nearly four years of service, the  
time has come for me to give another a chance to serve you in a  
primary leadership role. Due to an recent increase in personal  
commitments elsewhere, my ability to run things at the level the  
group requires has suffered and thus prompted this action. While this  
has been a very painful decision to make, I believe it to be the best  
step forward and that some exciting things are to come. It is time  
for some fresh energy and fresh ideas. It is time for others of you  
to step up and to bless us with your talents.

As of this evening, instead of a casual group of volunteers  
overseeing projects and fulfilling on tasks, we are going to  
implement something more official. I will be taking a step back to  
sit on a board, giving the responsibility of the day-to-day affairs  
to a president and a staff of various key positions. While each will  
be elected by the group by vote, I would like to instate our first  
president because he is the most qualified and due to the simple fact  
that he deserves it more than anyone else. Victor Villa has  
contributed to UPHPU in many capacities over the years and has been  
an invaluable asset, resource, and friend—in addition to our monthly  
meeting host and organizer of the Geek Lunches. Victor's energy and  
excitement will serve use very well and I am pleased to announce that  
he already has many new projects and ideas in the works. He will be  
contacting the list shortly in his new capacity and announcing how  
the elections will proceed.

While routine announcements and communication will not longer come  
from me directly, I will be here running the server, overseeing  
things generally, and hope to make it out to more meetings as our  
calendar continues to improve. I wish to thank every for all that  
they have contributed over the years and look forward to many more  
exciting things in the years to come.

Your friend,

Wade Preston Shearer
