Re: Farewell to FIRST Chairman Jon Dudas

This upcoming season will certainly feel different first without Bill Miller, and now Jon Dudas as well. They cannot be thanked enough for their countless contributions to FIRST, and they will be missed by all.

Re: Farewell to FIRST Chairman Jon Dudas

Whether or not Jon is reading this, I would like to thank him for all of the hard work that he has put in in his time as president at FIRST. He did a great job I don't think we could have asked for anything more from him.

THANK YOU JON!

Wow, first Bill Miller and now Jon Dudas have recently left. That is sad. They both did an excellent job in leading. Both will be missed.

Jon really made a connection with those of us out here where the rubber meets the road.

We will miss you Jon, please don't be a stranger.

Re: Farewell to FIRST Chairman Jon Dudas

This seems like somewhat of an unusual time for such a change, but I'm sure the 2013 season has been fully planned out for quite some time now and will run as smoothly as usual. Thanks Jon for your great leadership, you've helped FIRST change the lives of many.

This is a shame... a darn shame. I'm sad to see him go. I hope Jon is not a stranger as I found him quite an inspirational figure to talk to about topics outside of FIRST as well.

Re: Farewell to FIRST Chairman Jon Dudas

This is sad. Jon will be missed incredibly in FIRST. Hopefully he won't completely leave FIRST, it was always awesome to see (during opening ceremonies) most other speakers in suits or formal wear, but Jon wearing jeans and a baseball T-Shirt.

Thanks for all the time you've spent on FIRST, and best of luck in future endeavours!

Wow, Bill and Jon. Great guys; best of luck in your future endeavors, and we will miss you!

Also, best wishes to Bob Tuttle in the interim and to the Board in finding someone to fill such impressive (and cool) shoes.

Re: Farewell to FIRST Chairman Jon Dudas

Just want to make a small correction : Jon is FIRST's President. Walt Havenstein, the one who wrote the release, is its Chairman. Might want to change the title of the thread.

Jon has been such an incredible part of making FIRST what it is today.
I will miss his boundless enthusiasm to drive our programs forward.
Whomever takes up this position has big shoes to fill.
Thank you, Jon.

Re: Farewell to FIRST Chairman Jon Dudas

The FIRST community will certainly miss Mister President. Hopefully he will still be somewhat involved and we won't have to miss him entirely. It was a pleasure to meet him at FIRST HQ this past summer and I am very sad to see him leave.

Whenever I see Under Armour, I will always think of Jon Dudas. Always.
