Please join me in congratulating Shep as the new Ohio State Coordinator. Bruce has been an instructor for over 10 years,and his experience will be a steady hand on the rudder of Ohio. This state has been leader for the national organization, and I'm confident that under Bruce's guidance, it will continue on that path.
Many thanks to Charley, who is stepping down after two years of service.
Moving forward, please support Bruce any way you can as he focuses on range development and retention, and instructor recruitment and development.
Stay tuned for another announcement as Bruce names his deputy SC.
Thank you, Bruce, for stepping up to take on this vital and critical role.
Charley,
Thank you to both you and Mark for your two years of service as State Coordinator. Your leadership was marked by integrity and compassion during times that were often arduous.
Your selfless focus on investing in Ohio instructors will be your legacy. Under your tenure, Ohio saw more new Red Hats and Shoot Bosses than in most previous years. Your emphasis on improving KD instruction in the state was noted by shooters and instructors alike.
Few will appreciate the sacrifices, both personal and professional, you made on behalf of the Mission. But I'm grateful for your contributions and honor. You led by example to show the ends were as important as the means.
You were the right person at the right time for Ohio. Thank you.
I look forward to sharing a firing line or an IBC with you again soon! Ohio is lucky to have you as a Senior Instructor!
Shep,
Welcome to the Great Lakes SC team! Your reputation for excellent leadership and professionalism preceeds you. Thank you for picking up a bigger bucket!
All the best.
In Liberty,

Shep - Welcome to the new State Coordinator club! There have been quite a few of us in the last few months. Just in time to do scheduling for 2024. As we PA border raiders cross over into your area, I'm sure our paths will cross. Congratulations!
Thanks to both Charlie and Shep. We appreciate you all. :beer:

Thank you for your kind comments and encouragement. I'm looking forward to working with everyone to continue the Appleseed mission here in Ohio.

I appreciated the times I was able to be on a line with Charley and look forward to doing the same with Shep in 2024. Opposite ends of the state, our paths haven't crossed yet but Appleseed has given me the opportunity to meet good people whose company I have enjoyed and Shep, no doubt, will be another among those. To echo others, thank you, Charley for the last two years of work and here's a bright eye to the future.
Shep, congratulations on your new post! Thank you for stepping up to fulfill this important role. You have my full support.
Charley, thank you for your guidance and mentorship over these past few years. I look forward to possibly seeing you as a volunteer or participant at a future clinic.
Many thanks to both of you for your support of my advancement.
