Interim chairman Chris Williams has paid tribute to Jon Hales' time as chairman of Hereford FC.
The club board accepted the resignation of Hales at its board meeting last Monday.
"I have had and still have the greatest respect for Jon," Williams told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"His leadership has been great through this process.
"Look back two or three years ago and look at where we were and look at where we are now. Fantastic really.
"A lot of that is down to Jon's thinking, strategy, leadership.
"Nothing but admiration for him."
