“Tom’s leadership and vision for the future of the organization reset the bar and leaves us with a new sense of optimism for our future. While we regret his departure and Tom leaves very big shoes to fill, we respect his decision to take the next step in his career and we wish him nothing but the best. At the same time, we have tremendous leadership bench strength as we work to enhance our valued relationships with AAA clubs and the utmost confidence in Mike to lead the organization as we work to identify permanent leadership,” says Mary Hennessy, chair of the board of directors.
