# Portland WordPress User Group transitions leadership

Now, now. Don’t worry. There’s nothing scandalous happening.

But there are only so many hours in the day.

[Aaron Hockley](http://anotherblogger.com "Aaron Hockley"), the founder of the [Portland WordPress User Group](http://pdxwp.org "Portland WordPress User Group"), has decided to focus on some other major projects. As such, he is handing off responsibility for the [management of the pdxwp group](http://pdxwp.com/2009/02/change-in-leadership/ "Change in pdxwp leadership"):

> Recently I’ve found my time and energies spread thin amongst various projects. In order to focus on a smaller set of projects (and let the remaining projects thrive with the attention they deserve), I’m stepping back from a few things. I’m pleased to announce that [Kelly Guimont](http://www.thebananaverse.com/) is assuming the leadership role for our group. Kelly assisted with WordCamp Portland and I look forward to seeing her develop pdxwp further. I’ve turned over information on all pending pdxwp issues to Kelly, please [contact her](mailto:kellkell+mail@gmail.com) with any questions.

Aaron will continue to lead [WordCamp Portland](http://www.wordcampportland.org/ "WordCamp Portland"), the second installment of which is slated for fall 2009.
