Marty Keller Resigns – A Sad Day For Small Business | Peter Mehit
Marty Keller, who has been Governor’s Small Business Advocate for the last four years, is resigning. This is not good news as Marty has been a tireless advocate for small businesses in our state. Despite many setbacks and obstacles, Marty never quit reaching out to our community, while speaking truth to power about our situation and our needs.
Good luck, Marty. We know we’ll see you again in better circumstances. Keep your chin up! – Ed.
Marty’s letter:
Dear friends and colleagues,
It is with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude that I write to let you know of my decision to resign as the state’s Small Business Advocate effective July 31, 2011.
I am leaving this great job in order to work directly for small business owners. Come the beginning of August, I will be embarking on a different course of advocacy, one that will not be shackled by the restrictions of political appointment. I look forward to sharing the details of this new and exciting adventure in two weeks’ time. You can be sure I will be inviting you to join me.
