RE: IGC Board Position
Dear Jim and Mark,
After considerable deliberation at year's end, I find I must tender my resignation as a Board Member of IGC (and related entities) effective 12-31-03. Pressing business and personal matters in 2004, which require my attention would significantly limit my time to appropriately focus on important matters relating to IGC and IWT/CWT.
I have truly enjoyed my four years as a Board Member and appreciate the opportunity to serve with both of you and the other outside members. I wish you the best in the coming months while recognizing the challenging opportunities to be addressed.
Very Truly Yours,
/s/
James R. Treptow
