Hello Friends,
I’m writing let you all know that I’ll be leaving
On Screen Manitoba later this month to pursue work in the UK. It’s
been a great time working with and getting to know all of you over the
past year.
On Screen Manitoba is an outstanding organization and
I’ve really enjoyed my time working here, which makes this a
bittersweet farewell. The community is incredibly supportive and great
to work with, and I am forever grateful to you all. No one's departure
from this magnetic town is ever permanent, so I look forward to keeping
in touch.
My friends and colleagues at On Screen Manitoba are on
the hunt for a great new teammate, so please let us know if you have a
potential candidate in mind for my position.
In preparation
for my last day (August 15th) please try to tie up any loose ends with
me by August 14th. After my departure please direct all M3P or
Programming inquiries to Angela Kuehl Browne at angela@onscreenmanitoba.com.
I
hope to connect with you all in the future. Let me know if you’re
passing through or doing business in the UK. My permanent email is stevehignell@gmail.com.
Best,
Steve.
