Hi Stefanie,
Could you please forward the following message to our commission?
Dear Stefanie and Commissioners,
I am writing this letter to share that in response to some changing life circumstances, I am regretfully going to
step back from my role as a commissioner on the HRC, effective immediately.
Many of you know that I have been trying to balance my professional responsibilities as a teacher and my role
as a commissioner, with my responsibility for looking after my family's health. Although I admire you each
immensely and I truly have a great deal of confidence in the promise of the work outlined in our new strategic
plans, some recent developments in my life have forced me to recognize that I just do not have the capacity to
do my share of the work we described, on top of making sure that I continue to be the teacher I want to be in
the classroom and take care of my family. Knowing that there are so many in our community who are eager
and highly qualified to work on this commission, I feel that it is most appropriate for me to respectfully step
back and invite a new member to join this incredible group. So please accept my apologies for stepping back
before completing my term, and please know that I have learned so much from the months spent working with
you on this commission.
I'm sure I will see you all around our beautiful community, and that we will work together in some capacity
again in the future.
All the best,
Siri Felker
