Announcement

[Pete Marentay]

I have come to the realization over the last couple of months that some of the efforts that I have put so much energy into over the years have subtly distracted me from what is truly important in my life. I have come to the inevitable conclusion that my top priorities must be my family, my friends, and my business. All other facets of my life can only be viewed as secondary interests.

With all this in mind, I am sad to announce that I am unable to continue in a leadership role within PWNA at this time. My association with PWNA goes back a number of years, so this has been a difficult step for me. I think that this conclusion was a long time coming because I have been addicted to the wonderful sense of fulfilling the promise of PWNA without regard to the amount of time and energy that I was investing in the process.

I apologize to the Directors and members for stepping away as we prepare for the Convention. It was not my intention to complicate your world in any way. Those of you who know me personally will appreciate the difficulty of my decision. You are my friends and associates, and I will always treasure working with you as we promoted the industry.

My intention was always to leave the organization better than I found it. I trust I will be judged as a Giver rather than a Taker when the members look back on my tenure with PWNA.

I wish all of you a happy Christmas season and prosperity in the years to come. See ya'll in Memphis!

Sincerely,
Pete Marentay

Pete,

Congradulation on the discovery of life. I celebrate the decision with you. I have found myself in the similiar Place.

I play baseball seven days a week and many of us indulge into endevors and forget the important things in our lives. such and family god friends and work.

I'm going to change my ways for 2006 and
spend more time with family.
