As previously announced, my second term as NPWG chair will conclude by the end of August 2025. It was my honor to serve the group that welcomed me as a graduate student two decades ago. I hope I have fulfilled my duty to your satisfaction, and I am committed
to continuing to serve the group and working closely with the to-be-elected new chair during the transition period. </div>
