- Trying to get volunteers to work on something not code related is like pulling teeth. The number of AppSec EU volunteers is dismal.
- Chapter Leader Workshops are planned for Thursday. Open format, as that's what the Chapter Leaders that responded indicated that they wanted. It will be an open discussion on whatever they decide to bring to the table.

- GSoC: Nothing to report. Samantha had the lead on this and I have not received any updates since her departure.
- Cyber Security Start-up Initiative: Nothing to report. Again, Samantha was taking lead on this, as it was the first initiative introduced since I'd started and she graciously agreed to "take-point" and walk me through this one, as an observer. I have heard whisperings about them being almost ready for volunteers, but nothing substantial or through official request channels.
- Chapter Funding: We currently have $372152.09 in the Chapters account
- Community Engagement: We currently have $49,246.75 in the Engagement account. $1660.00 has been spent so far this quarter.
I hereby tender my resignation. You may consider this my two weeks notice, so that I can tie-up loose ends and hand this department off to someone in an orderly fashion. In the mean time, I will continue to process Chapter and Merchandise requests and close out my open Sales Force cases to the best of my ability, unless a decision is made otherwise by my boss, Sarah Baso, in which case, I shall comply with her wishes. I have determined that this position is simply not in alignment with my personal needs and I need to focus my energy elsewhere. Thank you for the opportunity to serve your organization. I'm sorry it didn't work out as hoped. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. -= GK Southwick
