Thanks.

My employer requires that I receive permission before accepting a
position on the board of foundation. I asked for permission two years
ago and never received a reply.

That's sort of the crux of the issue though — I'm happy to do the bits
outside of the bookkeeping and taxes. My expectation is that Council
is going to take the lead on dissolving the Foundation this year and I
plan to contribute to that.

But I don't think I can (or want to) take on the other
responsibilities that we ultimately want an umbrella to handle for us.

As a result, I decline the nomination.
