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
