Exit Letter from Connie Burke

To All EGOS Staff,

Due to severe budget restrictions at Emily Griffith Opportunity School, my position has been eliminated effective January 30. All my working contracts will go to the appropriate deans, and Dr. Sharron Carosella will be taking any new leads or referrals. Corporate Training will not be marketed as a program, but we will be honoring what is already in place. All new inquiries should be referred to Sharron Carosella during this transition.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Sharron, as my supervisor, for all her support and encouragement regarding the Corporate Training Center and for always being there to give advice and listen.

I would also especially like to thank Les Lindauer very much for allowing me the privilege of being able to work at this unique school for the past four years. It has been a very rich and rewarding experience. Les, our Executive Leader, is facing daunting fiscal times. We must remember that "cowboys are quiet but strong and always bring the cattle home safely." This is what Les is trying to do for our school.

Last, but not least, thank you all who have been there for me on so many occasions and have lended your support, advice and friendship. All of the staff at this school have much passion and compassion. I have made some wonderful friendships, during my stay here, that I will always treasure.

I'm sure our paths will cross again in the future.

Thank you all and God Bless.

Connie Burke
