A big thank you to all ALA members, my board colleagues, and the ALA team for championing adult learning and community education throughout 2023. Our collaborative efforts help keep our initiatives vibrant and relevant. I am looking forward to 2024, where our combined expertise can help shape policy, transform lives, and open new doors of possibility. Special mention to Board members Nigel Wilson and Stephen Billet who finished up on the Board this year. Season’s greetings and best wishes to all! Kathleen Priestly
