A message from ACSA Region 16 President

Hello Region 16 Members,
 
I'd like to extend a warm welcome back to all our E Basis members. I hope you had a restful break, spent quality time with loved ones, and feel recharged.
 
As we kick off another year, I'm excited to share this year's logo and theme:
 
Leading for Impact means making a significant and positive difference through your leadership. It's about achieving meaningful results and influencing people or projects in a way that creates lasting, beneficial change. As leaders, this is something we do every day. As you lead for impact, remember to practice self-care and do something nice for yourself daily. I look forward to serving as your President this coming year and wish you a successful new year.
 
Thank you, Dr. Piedad Sanchez
