Farewell Message

by Margaret Butler, Outgoing Executive Director

Thanks very much!

I am retiring this week, and this newsletter is the last I will write for.  I have very much enjoyed my three and a half years at AAUP-Oregon and want to thank everyone I have worked with in building the statewide organization.  It has been great to work with you, and I will miss working side by side with faculty to strategize, build solidarity, create our legislative program, support faculty organizing at private universities, and much more.  You are very lucky to have Ashley stepping in as Executive Director, and I look forward to hearing great things about the doings at AAUP-Oregon.  I will see many of you in the streets as we continue the struggle to create a vibrant, powerful peoples’ movement capable of ensuring democracy, creating equity, and reversing climate devastation.
