Letter from the Section President

Dear Esteemed Members of the Gender Issues and Worklife Balance Section,

As I reflect on the past year, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to have served as your President. It has been a privilege to witness the dedication and passion of our members in advancing the cause of gender equality and promoting work-life balance within our profession.

I am thrilled to share that we have had a remarkably productive year, thanks to the tireless efforts of our dedicated volunteers. Together, we have made significant strides in furthering our Section's mission and enhancing its standing within the AAA community. Our commitment to serving our members and fostering a supportive environment remains unwavering.

One of our proudest achievements this year has been the growth of our membership. Through the collective efforts of our members, we have successfully expanded our reach and welcomed new voices into our Section. We especially want to welcome our new volunteers and officers joining us from the various regions. I encourage each of you to continue advocating for our cause and inviting your colleagues to join us in our journey towards inclusivity and equity.
