Hi All,

Starting shortly, I will begin to reduce my role as Executive Director with CascadiaNow! 

This organization has been my life and work for more than 12 years, is a labor of love, and I am so proud of how far the organization, idea and movement has come in that time. It says a lot that as I step back I have full confidence that our wonderful team will continue to steward the idea of Cascadia in a positive way, and for CascadiaNow! to not only grow, but to thrive.

I want to thank all of you for your hard work, support and dedication to both spreading a positive vision for Cascadia, our bioregion, home, and for CascadiaNow! who will continue that journey into the future. For those who have amazing non-profit project ideas, I am so excited to refer you to our team, and for those who want to get more involved, Morgan is doing a wonderful job to help grow our regional network of ambassadors and chapters. 

As I step down, I want to ask each of you to think about joining me to help leave CascadiaNow! in as strong of a position as we can. If you're unaware, CN! is a completely grassroots and supporter powered non-profit, and this is a great time support their work by becoming a sustaining member, think about picking up some great Cascadia gear when it comes time to do some holiday shopping, or reach out about becoming an ambassador in your community. 

Personally, in the upcoming months, I will be taking a lot of time to focus on other endeavors, and to figure out the best use of my time and how I can best serve the Cascadia movement. I have to personally thank each of you for your support. Your passion over these years has made this movement what it is today. 

Please feel free to reach out to catch up, or grab a cup of coffee. I look forward to continuing to connect with each of you, and working with you all for the years to come. You can find me on Facebook, cascadianow@gmail.com or anywhere else on the ethosphere.

Very Bioregionally Yours,

Brandon Letsinger
