Subject: Stepping Down
Hi Everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to write a note about my participation in EOWG and other WAI involvement. As of last week, I will not be able to continue as co-chair or participant of the working group due to various circumstances and my organization’s funding. I will not be involved as a member participant for at least the rest of 2023. I will be working within my organization to raise awareness and document benefits around the importance of Pearson being a member organization of the W3C and involved in the work of the Web Accessibility Initiative. I hope to return to the working group as soon as possible.

For the time being, know that I will miss you all. Please feel free to stay in touch using my Pearson email address.
Keep up the great work and I will watch for new publications throughout the year.

Take care my friends,
Brent
