As we embark on a new chapter in our journey, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to the newly elected US Section Presidents of SRAI: Midwest-Meaghan Ventura; Northeast-Debra Sokalczuk; Southern-Amanda Seymour; and Western-Linda Dement. Your dedication, expertise, and vision are vital as we continue to advance the field of research administration. We are confident that our sections will flourish under your leadership, fostering collaboration, innovation, and professional growth among our members.
At this juncture, we must acknowledge and express our deepest gratitude to the outgoing Section Presidents, our Immediate Past Presidents: Midwest-Melissa Karby, Northeast-Megan Evansky, Southern-Kimberly Read, and Western-Grace Liu. Your commitment, hard work, and invaluable contributions have significantly shaped the Society and enhanced the support and services we provide to our members. Your leadership has been instrumental in navigating challenges and seizing opportunities, leaving a lasting legacy that will inspire future initiatives.
To the new Section Presidents, we look forward to your fresh perspectives and innovative approaches. Your role is crucial in steering our sections toward achieving our collective goals and upholding the highest standards of excellence in research administration. We encourage you to build upon the solid foundation laid by your predecessors and actively engage with your respective sections and our vibrant community.
To our Section's Immediate Past Presidents, thank you again for your exceptional service. Your dedication has profoundly impacted us, and we are immensely grateful for your contributions. We look forward to your continuous support as a valuable member of your Section's Executive Committee.
Together with our new and continuing leaders, we are poised for a future filled with promise and progress. Let us unite in our mission to support the research administration profession, SRAI, and to foster an environment where knowledge, innovation, and collaboration thrive.
Thank you all for everything!
