Xavier, we received this resignation in December. Is this forward sufficient or does a communication need to go directly

Thanks!

Dear Cultural Affairs,
While I have enormously enjoyed and appreciated my time serving on the Santa Monica Arts
Commission and working on the "Reframe the Mural Project-Working Circle", I'm unable to continue
serving due to professional obligations.
Please consider this letter my formal resignation, effective immediately.”
I'm very grateful to have been given this opportunity, and I know that the Arts Commission will
continue to move forward accomplishing great things.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Benjamin
