The Foundation welcomes a new Trustee, Dr. Thomas C. Burns, who was elected by the Board to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Neal A. Waldrop III.
Neal, feeling that his transfer to a diplomatic post in Australia would make his participation in Foundation activities extremely difficult, regretfully submitted his resignation as a member of the Board of Trustees of URANTIA Foundation. We wish Neal the best of luck on his new assignment and look forward to his continuing advice and counsel.
Tom is a long-time student of The URANTIA Book and has hosted study groups since 1975. He was one of the planners and presenters of the First Scientific Symposium held in Nashville, Tennessee. Tom is a clinical psychologist and presently administers a head injury rehabilitation program in Atlanta. The Board is looking forward to working with Tom.
The Board also regretfully accepted the resignation of Martin W. Myers as the Executive Director of URANTIA Foundation. The Trustees thank Martin for his dedicated leadership in guiding the Foundation office through the most difficult transition period of its existence. Richard Keeler will be acting Executive Director until a replacement can be found.
