Dear Ms. Dobrott,

In doing my preliminary review I've discovered that Don Holbrook's membership and CEcD

status lapsed a few years ago. He is no longer a member of IEDC (and therefore no longer a

Fellow Member) and no longer holds the CEcD designation. We currently have no relationship

with Don Holbrook and so cannot put this case in front of our Committee on Professional

Conduct.

Best regards,

Tracy
