Dear AMEWS members,

As 2009 is coming to an end, and many of us are engaged in tidying up loose ends while thinking about the New Year to come, it is also time for me to introduce myself and my vision for AMEWS. I look forward to serving as president of AMEWS for the coming two years and I am committed to try my best to help AMEWS thrive and grow even stronger. 

Yet, before laying out some of my ideas for the next couple of years, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Nada Elia, our outgoing president, who has done a great job over the past couple of years. Nada managed to establish a firm link between our scholarship and activism through her own work but also, jointly with our programme committee, through the choice of speakers at AMEWS receptions. I feel less anxious about the idea of taking over as president knowing that Nada will support me especially in the first period.
