<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">It is with regret that we received notice that Brad Westbrook, ArchivesSpace Program Manager, wishes to move on to pursue new opportunities after three years of dedicated service with the ArchivesSpace program. He will
be missed.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 11.55pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Brad has worked tirelessly since 2013 to help position ASpace for success in the community. He was one of the original architects of the Archivists Toolkit when he was at UCSD, and has been instrumental in bringing the
software to archivists ever since. In his role at ArchivesSpace, he has helped navigate the myriad issues associated with bringing a new software service to the community. Brad’s familiar face was often seen at SAA and the many events, conferences and hackathons
that he participated in or led.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 11.55pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Fortunately, Brad will remain in his position for the next six weeks with the ArchivesSpace program and LYRASIS, the Organizational Home, to help find a suitable replacement. He will also help in the recruiting and hiring
of a tech lead.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 11.55pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">While November 30th will be his last day as Program Manager, Brad has kindly agreed to continue working with ASpace on dedicated projects after that. We will announce more details on that as specific plans are confirmed.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
