It is a pleasure to be participating in the IHSG as the Communications Director. I want to sincerely thank Dr. Tom Chastain for all his efforts on this website and setting me up for success. I look forward to sharing IHSG updates, newsletters, publications, and more through this platform with all of you.

I also want to thank Dr. Phil Rolston for his tireless work getting newsletter content together.
