Dear President Dainty
Re: Resignation as Executive Secretary of USACA
John Aaron has officially resign as secretary of USACA.
Today, November 30, 2011 marks the end of the current three-year term of office for those elected to the USACA Board of Directors on March 29, 2008. It is not my intention to usurp the office of Executive Secretary to which I was elected nationally in 2008, therefore as previously stated publicly, if USACA national elections were not held by today per Article XXI: Section I – Elections shall be held no later than November 30 of each electoral year, I would resign, before seeking any position on the board as part of a new electoral cycle.
I recognize that this may be viewed largely as a symbolic gesture, but it is being done with the utmost respect for those who elected me to serve a three-year term, the end of which I believe USACA has largely ignored, and it is now fast becoming past due.
I hereby urge all members of the USACA Executive Board and others, including you Mr. President to demit office no later than midnight tonight, and with due respect to, and for the current USACA Constitution. It would be the right and honorable thing to do.
I look forward to serving United States cricket in some capacity during the next electoral cycle. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the twenty-seven (27) league presidents who e-mailed, called, or signed various petitions objecting to the unconstitutional suspension of me by you Mr. President.
I am humbled and indebted to all of the league presidents for their kind-hearted outreach and support during the past three years, more so during the past few months. I have always tried to represent all the members of USACA to the best of my ability as Executive Secretary, and I thank each and every one of them for the opportunity to serve, as I look forward to continuing as a servant of the sport in the United States.
Best regards,
John L. Aaron
