Dear Friends, Let me start with the news. Two years after founding FAIR, I am leaving my role as the full-time volunteer CEO, and joining the Board of Advisors. During this leadership change, I believe that FAIR will remain committed to its mission and nonpartisan approach, and hope that you will continue to support the pro-human movement. I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude for what we have accomplished, and for the truly amazing people I have had the opportunity to get to know over the past two years.
Thank you for your inspired leadership of FAIR. You have done an incredible service for our country. Every organization needs a passionate, committed leader and it's hard to imagine how FAIR will survive much less thrive without one. The demands on your time must have been huge and I wish you a much deserved respite. It is impossible to overstate how much you will be missed.
Bion, your vision for FAIR and the Board of Advisors that had been assembled, got me involved and volunteering with FAIR very early on. As I am preparing to attend a union board meeting this weekend, a board (and an organization it leads) that has been rocked by the kinds of divisive ideas that have spread throughout all kinds of institutions over that past several years, I will be taking your courage and pro-human message of fairness towards all, understanding, and celebrating a shared humanity among 8 billion individuals with me.
For me, reading your statement finally clarified why FAIR publications have always appealed to the reflective side of my nature and somehow have always lowered my anxiety. Thank you for all you’ve done thus far to bring calm and reason to a world gone seemingly mad. It always feels like coming home.
Thank you, Bion, for starting and working so incredibly hard to maintain this amazing organization. You and all the volunteers are a beacon for these confusing, cynical and difficult time. I wish you much luck and a good dose of rest. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for bringing forth FAIR and bringing it this far. I am regretting my strongly tribal/partisan inclinations and I am inspired by your work to do better.
Thank you, your message is quite timely. I joined FAIR this morning, and have already referenced several pieces and videos. I hope FAIR's work can open some eyes in our school district, and more importantly in our community.
Thank you for putting together just the kind of organization the moment called for. I was extremely heartened when I learned about FAIR''s founding and I've followed its words and actions with continued appreciation. As you move on to new endeavors, I hope it thrives, staying loyal to its founder's vision.
Thank you, Bion, for walking the walk and talking the talk. Most of us whine and complain but never actually do anything to effect change. You are one of those rare gems who decided to act and in the process offered hope and inspiration to those of us in search of reason, nuance and open dialogue and debate. I thank you for the gift of your time, wisdom, energy and vision.
Thank you for your work! I would love to hear your vision for how you will ensure FAIR continues without your leadership as CEO. As you yourself mentioned, there are so many pressures to go one way or another, and it’s your vision for a non-partisan, kind-but-firm organization that made it one I can respect.
I would love to know what vision, plans and guardrails you have in place to maintain that.

I'm glad you're staying on the Board. You and FAIR have been a station of sanity.
You have been an inspiration.
