“Be willing to make decisions. That’s the most important quality in a good leader.” ~George S. Patton
For those of you who might not have heard the news, Andy Fitch will be leaving his position at Averett University on October 15th and will be moving to Alaska where he has accepted a job as the CFO of a hospital. Andy and his wife, Katie, have been very active in many areas of the community since moving to Danville and will certainly be missed and we wish them both the very best in the future. As you know, Andy was recently elected to serve as Vice-President of the Club. We are fortunate that Tommy Pruett has agreed to serve in that capacity and will be voted on at our next meeting. Tommy's name will be presented at our meeting on the 2nd. The floor will be open for additional nominations and a vote taken.
