Colleagues, It is with very mixed emotions that I inform you that Brett McDowell is resigning as Executive Director of Kantara Initiative as of February 10th to pursue another (great) employment opportunity. We are truly sad to see him go with all that he has contributed to both Liberty Alliance and Kantara Initiative over these past many years. Unceasingly positive, unfailingly energetic, and a walking encyclopedia about the Identity space, he has made our lives so much better for having walked (raced) with us on this journey. But, we are genuinely happy for him in this new opportunity and are confident that Brett will do very well indeed. Brett, on behalf of all of your friends at Kantara Initiative and beyond, congratulations and good fortune with your new adventure and thank you most sincerely for what you've done for us. Needless to say, we are looking for a new Executive Director for Kantara Initiative. The Board of Trustees has established a search committee to fill the position.
