John Batten Member Services Director Resignation

Hi all, I would like to let you know that I'm stepping down from Member Services Director. I have decided this for two reason. Firstly I have an upcoming promotion at work which is exciting but I am going to have to put that first and put a lot of time into it to prepare Secondly I feel while I had an initial success getting  Visiting and Transferring open again with the opening of C1/C3 transfers this has since stalled.

Lee Roberts Member Services Director Resignation

Hi all, I am afraid it is time for me to announce that I am stepping down as the Member Services Director. This is happening much sooner than I would have liked, however with my job forcing me to step away from VATSIM for a short while I can no longer continue as the Member Services Director as much as I would have liked to. I did try an negotiate a pay rise but Chris said no ☹ and well, VATSIM doesn’t pay the bills so I must step aside to allow the department and division to continue

Hi all, After some careful consideration, I regret to say I’ve tendered my resignation to the DSG. Having recently accepted a new role in 'the real world', my spare time is looking very minimal for the future. I would like to thank @Chris Pawley and the rest of the DSG for giving me the opportunity to build and develop the Member Services department from scratch. Significant progress is being made in the department now thanks to @Adam Meade, @James Thomas, @Luke Peters and @Matthew Wil
