Another Dirne Manager Quits, But …

Apparently, Beth Clemens resignation from the Dirne Clinic was not suppose to be released to the press. Clemens sent the bold-face statement to Huckleberries this afternoon. Her resignation letter follows.

It is with regret that I learned that my resignation letter intended for, and sent only to the Dirne Board of Directors was released to the press this morning. I did not intend for this document to go beyond the auspices of this organization, and it was released without my knowledge or consent. Please respect my intention not to discuss my decision to leave Dirne publicly, particularly in the light of this breach of confidentiality" -- Beth Clemens.

Resignation Letter:
"I thank my past Chief Executive Officers and Chief Medical Officer for the opportunity to work as the Chief Operations Officer for the past 3 years. I had found my dream job and didn’t know I was looking for it. I had looked forward to many years participating in the success and future of the organization. My time is done as part of the management team. The new direction is not condusive to the team work of the past."
