Title: VATUSA 3 Retirement and New Training Director
Post by: Mark Hubbert on February 26, 2019, 08:09:00 PM: VATUSA Members,
I am sad to inform the membership that Brandon Barrett has announced his retirement as our Training Director. Brandon has become very busy with his job and other personal obligations and feels that the time has come to step away. Brandon requested that I did not make a huge announcement about his retirement so out of respect for Brandon's wishes I thank Brandon and wish him the very best. Brandon's last day as the Training Director will be March 2, 2019. Upon Brandon's retirement, Rick Rump will transition into the role of Division Training Director. Rick has worked very hard on various training projects since stepping into the Deputy Training Director role and I am pleased to announce that Rick will become the new VATUSA 3. Please join me in offering your thanks to Brandon for his dedicated service and Congratulations to Rick on his promotion.
