To the Truman Community,

It has been my absolute privilege to lead this organization for the past
six months, and I sincerely thank the Boards for the opportunity to serve.
I learned of Truman back in 2012 while on the Obama campaign. Mike
Moschella and Mike Breen were all smiles as they explained that Truman was
not a think tank but a membership organization of smart, sharp policy
professionals with big hearts and big ideas. These members debated how our
values should be reflected in thoughtful policy over beers and laughs.
Following an interview with a colleague from DoD, Anthony Robinson, I would
become a member myself in 2013. The Veterans Leadership Academy was
rebranded into the more inclusive Defense Council - a group for defense
policy wonks, veterans, intel professionals, and frontline civilians - we
have today.

Three distinct doors - Fellows, Partners, and the aforementioned Defense
Council - that all lead into the same room of friends and allies. Truman
has evolved into much more than an organization but a community of high
performing, dedicated leaders who currently and well into the future will
find themselves at the forefront of decision-making that will shape our
nation for generations to come. We are no longer simply national security
and foreign policy standouts. We are communicators, we are elected
officials, we are doctors, we are lawyers, we are school board members and
teachers, we are philosophers and entrepreneurs. We are parents, partners,
and friends. We are every demographic imaginable. We are all Truman. And I
couldn’t be prouder to have been a part of serving this community and its
staff even for a short period of time. This has been an absolute dream I
wouldn’t change for anything.

March 15 will be my last day with Truman. I adore this staff and think the
world of them. It has been a privilege to serve alongside them.

I wish Jenna Ben-Yehuda, Truman’s new CEO and President, the best of luck.
I know she is incredibly capable, as demonstrated by the Boards’ complete
faith and support in her and her vision. I know she will help shape the
future of this community, and I look forward to seeing it prosper under her
leadership.

You, the membership of Truman, have dedicated your lives and careers to
service above self. From conventions to TruCon, from Presidential debates
to debating at happy hour, from elections to No Exceptions, this community
has grown from a single idea into something grand. I am deeply humbled
having had the opportunity to serve you all, and I wish this organization,
this membership, this community, the absolute best.

With Sincere Regards,

Bishop
