Greetings,
On behalf of the Board of Directors of PEDS, I am writing to inform our members, supporters, and stakeholders of the recent resignation of our CEO and President, Cathy Clark Tyler, effective September 11, 2020. Cathy was hired last September as the CEO of PEDS, after the retirement of Sally Flocks, founder and leader for 23 years. We understand the challenges this year has presented, and we appreciate her focus on equity. The new relationships that she cultivated and alliances that she made helped PEDS' further our goal of placing equity and social justice at the forefront of our work in all aspects of pedestrian safety. PEDS' Board Members and I extend our thanks and appreciation to Cathy for her service and wish her well in future endeavors.
To our members, sponsors and stakeholders, you can be assured that the PEDS Board, staff and volunteers are joining together to continue our mission, uninterrupted, as we navigate this latest transition. Thank you for your continued support.
We are very excited about our upcoming Georgia Walks Summit, which will be held virtually on October 22 and 23. We hope that you will join us at the summit to hear from our diverse group of 50 speakers.
Sincerely,
