Wayne Eisenhauer steps aside as President and Trustee.

The Society is grateful to Wayne for his years of service as a Trustee, Treasurer, Vice President and President over the last ten years. His boundless energies and knowledge on the peoples and places of Danvers made for lively tours and events.

Wayne is actually at a loss for words: "I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed working with all of you, how much I will miss working with you all at the Society, and the immense confidence I have in all of you as stewards of the Danvers Historical Society." He feels he "will not be able to devote to the Society at the level of commitment required as its President or even as one of its Trustees." Wayne will work with Cathy Gareri, Operations Manager, to make the administrative transition to Thomas Page as Society President a smooth one.

Through Wayne's guidance, the Society has evolved its administrative strengths, as demonstrated by the Board's development of effective operating committees and adoption of a corroborative managerial paradigm under Tom's leadership, so that no one individual, even its President, is critical to the Society's operations.

Wayne has always been, and will continue as, a stalwart supporter of the Society and its Trustees. Please do not hesitate to contact him if you think he may have something in his institutional, administrative and non-profit industry memory that could be of help as the Trustees, Staff and Membership work to expand and strengthen the Society's mission.

Wayne, the Trustees and Staff thank the Membership all for your dedicated support of the Society, which we greatly admire and deeply appreciate.
