        <div>Dear CSTA Chapter Leaders,</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>As our leaders across the United States and Canada, I want
          to let you know on behalf of the whole Board of Directors that
          tomorrow morning we will announce Jake Baskin as the next
          Executive Director of the CSTA. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Jake is a former high school computer science teacher and
          long time CSTA member who brings great experience, enthusiasm
          and vision to this role. He has a demonstrated track record in
          bringing together educators, policymakers, and employers to
          expand computer science education. At CSTA, I know he will
          bring a focus on supporting K-12 teachers.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I also want to give a huge thanks to Interim Executive
          Director Deborah Seehorn for all the work she’s done to lead
          CSTA through this transition.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Once the release is live, please help amplify our message
          by re-tweeting @csteachersorg and posting on Facebook.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Thank you, and I am so excited for this next stage in
          CSTA's journey.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Yours,</div>
        <div>Fred</div>
