<p>To DignityUSA members:</p><p style=font-family: Verdana Arial Helvetica sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; margin-right: 30px; >We wanted to inform you of a change in the leadership of DignityUSA. Philippe Lachance who was elected by your Board of Directors as our treasurer beginning October 1 2003 has had to resign his position on the board. Just as he was getting up to speed on his duties as our treasurer his full time employment unexpectedly had changes requiring him to work many long hours. After working a ten-plus-hour day and driving home Phil would have to start his Dignity day and this all proved too much.</p><p style=font-family: Verdana Arial Helvetica sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; margin-right: 30px; >We are sad to see him resign his position but are happy that he will be continuing to support our organization in other ways.
