First, I wish you the best for the New Year, which marks the 50th anniversary of our Society. I am honored and grateful to have been elected as president, and I take this occasion to thank the members of the DEIS Administrative Committee (AdCom) for giving me the opportunity to serve the Society in this role. I recognize this is a great responsibility, but I will do my utmost to meet your expectations and to maintain the high standards of excellence established by my predecessors.
