I want to extend my deepest gratitude to ITRC's Board of Directors, members, and stakeholders who have provided invaluable support and guidance throughout my tenure; your trust and confidence in my leadership have been instrumental in our collective success. Over the last eight years, our membership has more than doubled, spanning upwards of 1,500 environmental professionals, our finances are stronger than ever, and our all-time training attendance is on pace to hit 200,000 by the end of this year! I also had the privilege to travel with ITRC's dedicated trainers twice to China and twice to Australia, helping to bring ITRC products to a worldwide audience and bolster our international partnerships.
I am grateful to the outstanding ITRC team, both staff and contractors, that have led the way and worked so hard to make the organization world-class. We have expanded from a staff of two to a staff of six while increasing our contractors to a team of 18 in order to accommodate our expanding collection of project teams. I am truly grateful to all of them for the work they provided to help us fulfill our mission of delivering innovative environmental guidance.
Members and friends, please accept my deepest gratitude to every one of you for the privilege of serving as the Director of ITRC. Together, we built an organization that not only delivers exceptional products but also embodies a culture of collaboration and innovation. I am confident that the organization will continue to thrive under the leadership of Charles Reyes, and I am proud to pass the reigns knowing that our membership and partnerships are strong, our teams are continuing to produce groundbreaking products, and our Board of Advisors is ready to take the next steps in advancing this organization.
Thank you for your dedication, your unwavering support, and the incredible memories we have created. I wish you all continued success. Please stay in touch through my personal email, patty.catherwood@gmail.com.
