Introduction. Resigning from your job is a big decision. You may opt to resign for medical reasons, for a better job, or for personal reasons.Board members are free to resign at any time in their term, but their resignation is permanent for the remaining portion of their original term. A short resignation letter is the way to go. Include your name, position, the date of resignation and the intended last day of work in the first paragraph. The Board officially accepted a resignation for the office on January 8, 2020 and determined the following process to fill the vacancy. A common misconception is that two weeks' notice is a legal requirement. There is no federal or Arizona law that makes this a requirement.
