Once an election cycle begins, when do DEOs get rest? WHEN IT’S OVER! (Votes tallied? Check! EO’s paid? Check! Office empty? Check!) Ahhhh!

When we met, Don asked: "what role do I play?" I told him: "Please be my 'Radar O'Reilly'!" I've spent the last few months, leaning on him!

The most important relationship in this work is the one between a DEO & their Deputy. Don L, thank you for being the BEST Deputy DEO EVER!!

Here's a quick look back on #TBT. Like all DEOs, my position is appointed, but for a limited time. In 6 months I'll get a letter like THIS!
