Dear Mr. Stinson,
I write this morning to officially confirm my retirement at the end of this year on December 15, 2016. After 35 years at Prestige Corporation, it is my honor to pass on my dedication to the mission of this organization to the next generation of leaders and innovators. I look forward to witnessing the future of this company as we begin international engagements, re-launch classic products, and rebrand to appeal to younger audiences. This is a very exciting time for Prestige, and I am confident that success will continue to greet us warmly.
I leave Prestige thankful. Being a member of this company has allowed me to provide for a large family of six alongside my husband. Together we have put four children through college, traveled with our girls, and provided our young ones with access to quality healthcare for over 26 years. I thank this company for providing so graciously. Now, it is time for me to provide in other ways, via my presence. As Prestige moves forward I move forward as well, toward a continued commitment to my family.
It is with great honor that I retire as Chief Operating Officer. Thank you for your support of this decision, for your vision of this bold company, and for your friendship for 35 years. I look forward to announcing my decision at the next all-staff meeting in October.
Warmly,
Grace Clingler, COO
