President's Letter

FARS President

Dear FARS Section Members,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 academic year! I am excited to serve as your Section President and to continue the strong tradition of scholarship and community that makes FARS such a special home within the AAA.

I would like to thank John Jiang for his thoughtful leadership this past year. Under his guidance, the section had a successful year filled with high-quality research presentations, thoughtful discussions, and meaningful connections. The Annual Meeting last month was also a great success, with 475 submissions. I am grateful to all of you who contributed by presenting, reviewing, moderating, or attending.

Looking ahead, I am pleased to share that our 2025–2026 committees are already staffed and ready to get to work. Thank you to those of you who volunteered to serve—your time and effort are critical to advancing the section’s mission.
