Daniel,
I’m unsure if you’re the correct person I need to alert to this but I am no longer the Communications Director with Corner Lot as the position was eliminated.
As such, I’ll need to resign from the Darby and Acree boards, effective immediately. Please let me know what you need from me.
Thank you.
