Please accept this as my and Lisa Zung’s notice of resignation as Artist Alley Manager and Assistant Manager, effective January 9, 2010.

We’ve enjoyed working with everyone for the past six years, and have been happy to have promoted the growth of the Artist Alley in that time.

Unfortunately, we feel the direction of the SPJA and its new management is harmful to the convention and its staff, and we have no desire to volunteer our time and effort to an organization whose upper management is derisive and dismissive to the concerns of the volunteers who help run it.

Sincerely,
–
Jen Bennett
