Attached please find a copy of the resignation of Dr. Vladislava Rac as Treasurer of the Davis-Thompson Foundation, which I have accepted today, 14 September 2020.

Vladi’s resignation is the result of some ongoing health issues, and this will give her time to address them properly.

The important of Vladi’s contributions to the Foundation cannot be overstated, and much of he success we have enjoyed over the last 35 years is due to her diligence, discipline, attention to detail, outstanding financial acumen, and above all, her dedication to the Foundation.  Her loss will be a large blow, but she has agreed to answer questions during the transition period.

The Foundation is in excellent financial shape with over $125K in operating capital as well as over $400K in our invested capital reserve.  The addition of Ms. Evelyn Cotton as the Foundation administrator 2 years ago was another excellent choice on Vladi’s part, and provides a sure financial and now experience hand running the day to day-operation of the Foundation office.

Vladi’s resignation was sudden, but discussion of this eventuality has been part of the annual meetings between the Foundation, President, and Treasurer for the last two years.  It will set up a profound personnel transition within these offices of the Foundation, which will become evident in the next few days.  Please attend to your email during this time for several important Foundation votes.

Very respectfully,

Bruce Williams, DVM
