Hello and good day, dear members of the SHG RNO,
I hope you are all doing well – appropriately for the summer season – given the circumstances.
You've probably noticed that I've been a bit withdrawn lately and haven't been as active as you might have liked. I ask for your understanding in this matter – thank you in advance.
It was not an easy decision for me, but after much consideration, I have decided to relinquish the leadership of our self-help group on August 1, 2025, for personal and health reasons.
I am very pleased to have found two dedicated and likeable colleagues within our group who have agreed to take over my position.
Of course, I will remain a member of our club and look forward to continuing to be in contact with you.
My special thanks go to my two successors, Luise Behrens and Christine Stukan, to whom I wish a good start in their new roles. You can find their contact details on the Alpha1 Germany e.V. website.
I wish you all the best – and I look forward to hearing from you occasionally.
With warmest regards and best wishes for your health
Carsten Büch
Note from the board of Alpha1 Germany:
Dear Carsten,
Thank you so much for your dedication, especially at the patient days in Heidelberg over the past few years. We look forward to seeing you there and at other events, and we fully understand your decision to step down as group leader.
Thank you for your dedication over the past few years!
