LETTER OF RESIGNATION



November 19, 2000


Ms. Sheri Pittman
President
USATT

Dear Sheri,

Please accept my resignation as Executive Director of USATT effective November 30, 2000.

I have worked very hard over the last 15 months to move the organization forward and to promote the wonderful sport of Table Tennis. I believe that together we have made progress. However, given the difficult 2001 budget ahead of us, the existing challenges placed on the Executive Directors job, the long hours and the stress this has placed on my family, I can no longer work effectively as Executive Director of USATT.

I plan to work with you, my successor and the board of directors to ensure a smooth transition. There are some major opportunities already in the pipeline, which are in our mutual interests not to miss. I am eager to remain active in the sport and I look forward to continued relationships with friends, players and advocates of growth.

Regards,


Ben Nisbet
Executive Director
