Thank you so much! I’ll miss seeing you too - but ASECS 2027 is in Portland, my stomping ground …. I already told my new employer that I’ll need those days off to hang out!

My thanks to the amazing @asecsoffice.bsky.social members and my colleagues in the ACLS-CEO group who made the past 4 years such an amazing experience. You helped me understand how to build and nurture a community, and I'm excited to put those lessons to work in my new community!
