Dan Mahle, SAF's Program Director, is leaving SAF because his other interests are taking off.  Although he's been with SAF only a short time, he has made a difference and he will be greatly missed.  He asked to share the following message with you.

After months of consideration, I have decided that I will be transitioning out of my role as Program Director at SAF in mid-late April. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with SAF. I am moving on in order to dedicate my full energy to several outside projects that are very important to me (click each for more info):

1. The Art Affect
2. Summer of Solutions
3. Generation Waking Up

I want to say to the whole community that I am grateful to each of you for helping to make my experience at SAF positive and incredibly rewarding. I am fully committed to the ongoing success of this organization and I will be happy to make myself available to answer any questions that you may have throughout this transition process.

                                                                                      Thank you, Dan
