Gina Duncan, president of the Metropolitan Business Association (MBA), has resigned. Duncan’s term was set to end Dec. 31, 2013, but her resignation will be effective on Dec. 1, 2012.
“It has been a true honor to have served this organization on the Board and as its President over these last four years,” Duncan wrote in her resignation letter. “I believe I am leaving the MBA in great shape organizationally, and financially, with the ability to continue the support and development of our LGBT Business Community.”
Duncan told Watermark she’s headed back into the mortgage banking field. She said she drew no salary for her work with the MBA.
“I’ve been living off of my pension the last two years. All of my time at the MBA was volunteer,” she said. “That was the plan, though; I wanted to give back to my community and am still very committed to supporting the LGBT business community.”
Duncan said it was time for her to get “back into the corporate world” and “the timing was just good to do it,” mentioning that the MBA’s leadership is strong enough to handle the transition.
MBA Vice President Mikael Audebert will step in as president on Dec. 2 to complete Duncan’s term.
“We are sad to see Gina leave this organization,” said Audebert. “She has been instrumental in helping the chamber expand its membership, its programs and most importantly, built a base for its growth and future.”
On Dec. 5 the MBA will elect five new board members.
