Good morning,
I wish to take a moment to inform all the outdoor industry leaders,
community partners and non-profit organizations that I have built a
relationship with during my employment at Cabela’s over the past 10.5 years,
that as of Thursday, February 1, I am no longer an employee at Cabela’s. The company announced a restructure
of positions at the retail stores and unfortunately my position as Retail Marketing
Manager, was eliminated along with other management positions.
Through this email I would like to bid a farewell to each one of you---though
it is very difficult for me to do as this was somewhat unexpected for me. I unfortunately was unable to reach out to
you directly to finalize any pending events, projects, offsite events, internal
events, donations/sponsorship requests, tours, clinics, classes, etc. If you would like further information on how
Cabela’s can support your requests (internal events planned, offsite events, donations, sponsorship, classes, anything..) you will need to reach out to the store directly.
Unfortunately,
most of our correspondence was
just between you and I, which means that the contacts at Cabela’s will
not have
any information for you as far as an update—and you will need to
reestablish a
relationship with the store management team for continued support. I
took a few minutes before leaving to give them a very brief cliff note
version of what was coming up in hopes to help this transition but I am
imagining there are still going to be many lose ends. And for that I do
apologize.
There are also many contacts who unfortunately won't receive
this as I lost access to them when the change went into effect
immediately, so should you cross paths with them, please send my
apologizes.
I wanted you to know I sincerely appreciate your partnership with Cabela’s
and me personally over all these years. I
was very lucky to have met and worked with some of the most amazing top-notch people
in the industry and community. I do
not
know where the road will lead me next, yet optimistic that another just
as
amazing opportunity is in front of me. Please connect with me on
facebook, through this e-mail address, and most of you already have my
cell 219-616-4852.
Even though I know I have built lasting relationships
with many of you and our adventures are far from over, know that I do
wish you the best.
I hope to get the opportunity to work with you again sometime in future.
Thanking you,
--
