Although this is very sad news, thank you Jen for announcing and clarifying the staff change.
Clint and Lillian were such a vital part Renderosity.
Over the past six years, I have worked closely with both Clint and Lillian on a variety of projects, and the experience has always been pleasurable. They both possess an excellent work ethic, compassion, patience, professionalism and integrity in every aspect of their jobs and personal life.
Clint is a Renderosity icon, and was instrumental in developing Renderosity's Marketplace, from a few storefronts into the colossal endeavor it now is. Not only did he bring income into Renderosity (which allows all its members to enjoy free gallery space and teaching forums). His endeavors also provided revenue for the Renderosity Merchants, and products for the Renderosity community members. His sincere passion for Renderosity and the community was always evident in every aspect of his work. His work with the merchants, and his patient training of his staff, has led to an eclectic array of products at reasonable prices.
Lillian was influential in bringing professional companies to advertise and work within the Renderosity community. Which also brought a considerable amount of information and income into Renderosity, which again, allowed us (the Renderosity community), to enjoy all the site's free services. She was also a constant advocate of the various Renderosity publications, including the current Renderosity Front Page News. Everyone who has been in contact with Lillian, has been touches by her passion, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm.
I know I will personally miss both Lillian and Clint's presence, as I know they will be missed greatly by the whole Renderosity community.
Selfishly I wish they were still a part of the staff, however logically I understand that, as with all things, change is inevitable. Though they will be missed beyond words, I know they will succeed greatly in their next endeavor, and that life only holds exciting new adventures ahead for both.
As Debbie was trained by Clint, and has been working for the past year as Co-Manager of Renderosity's Marketplace, I know she will also do an amazing job as the Marketplace's new sole manager.
Congratulations also to Gina on her new position and promotion.
As a former Renderosity Admin, I fully understand the responsibilities and pressures that even the little daily tasks can bring. I know both ladies will be outstanding in their new positions and have the continued support of the Renderosity community.
