The internal memo:
Officials and Inspectors,
This is one of the harder emails that I have had to write since being the Executive Officer. But I wanted to inform you all that I notified Chairman and Vice Chairman that on July 31, 2012 will be my last day as the Executive Officer. I want to thank everyone here for your friendship and your knowledge of combative sports that you shared with me. I appreciate you dedication to keeping the fighters safe and all the extra work that everyone has put in.
I feel that the commission has come a long way since I was appointed as the Executive Officer but I know that it has a long way to go.
It is hard to give something up you really enjoy doing, but at this point in my career it is for the best for me and my family. As with any career there are high points and low points and when those low points start affecting the ones that you love its time to find something better.
I am not sure of who the commission will appoint as the interim executive officer, but until they appoint someone Kathi will be running the day to day operations starting on August 1, 2012. She is willing to listen and learn, so please give her all the knowledge that you have given me.
Although the commission is going through some difficult times, I truly believe in the future the commission will be productive and have many great years to come.
George Dodd
Executive Officer
California State Athletic Commission
