Dear TSA Community-

This is an extremely difficult letter to write as the TSA Community has meant so much to me and my family these past seven years, however I have accepted a new position at Terra State Community College and will be leaving my role as Director effective June 30, 2022.

It has been an honor to lead this institution and I will always cherish the relationships I have made with so many of you. TSA is truly a unique treasure in Toledo and I look forward to watching all the future successes of this amazing institution!

I’ve been working with the Board on next steps and Tim VanTuinen, Board President, will send out a communication early next week with an update.

A heartfelt thank you for seven amazing years!

Best Future Wishes-

Doug
