On Tuesday, December 9, 2003, Dawn Christensen released the following announcement.
Dear President Gray:
After much consideration, I am writing to inform you that effective immediately I am resigning from the board of directors of the American Council of the Blind.
Regretfully, I cannot continue as a leader of this organization. Seven years ago the membership elected me to represent their voice. I believe that many members of the board of directors have lost sight of what they were elected for. I am disheartened by the series of events that have taken place over the last several months and feel that I can no longer be associated with the apparent non-democratic movement of the leadership of ACB.
Sincerely, Dawn Christensen
