Farewell to my friends at COCA
It is with regret that I have to advise members of my resignation as Chief Executive Officer of COCA. It has been my honour to serve COCA members over these past 5 years.

It is with sadness that the time has come to wish members, the COCA Executive and my loyal staff, all the best for the future. I have heartily enjoyed working with everyone and happily go into semi-retirement!
