[Announcement] NCSG Chair Decision Not to Run for Re-election

[Remmy Nweke]

Farza
This is not funny news, especially now we are trying to reposition the
finance committee and we advance well.

I pray that the ban will be off the table soon.

No doubt will miss you immensely.

Best of the time sister.

Dear Farzi,

It saddens me to read about your decision of not running for re-election. I
guess both NCUC and NCSG can appreciate all your hard work (despite the
distance), as well as everything that has been done in both groups under
your leadership.

As Steph mentioned, I do hope the travel ban ends soon and we get to have
you around again!  Always a pleasure to work with you and thanks for
everything.

Best,
Bruna
