Very cool.... I wasn't sure when this news would break, and I've been dying to tell you guys. I am very, very excited about this incredible opportunity and vote of confidence from the EC.

John has given a lot to these registers and to the PCA. I don't think any of our registers would exist without him. He and I have spoken and he wanted to break the news to the existing advocates, and he has graciously offered as much help as he can provide to make my transition into the position smooth.

The Executive Council has a lot of trust in me, as does Porsche AG and PCNA. I hope to use this trust and the excitement surrounding this new appointment to benefit all of the registers. It's sort of unfair to John, but whenever there's a new new guy in a position that renewed focus tends to lead to good things. I'll try to use this period to benefit our programs.

I plan to spend the first quarter or two just evaluating the other existing registers and advocates, most of whom I do not know. I really look forward working with you guys. You are off to a great start here, and I know we will see a lot of greatness from this very enthusiastic group.

I hope I can count on you guys for input, ideas, advice, critiques and suggestions. Together we can make these register programs really rock and roll. So as we move forward, I will always have one question for you. What can I do to help you guys succeed...?
