Dear Fellows:
As I reflect on our recent Spring Meeting in Maui, I am struck by the deep sense of collegiality among Fellows, underscored by a strong commitment to the work and mission of the College that was apparent throughout the meeting. From the warm conversation at our evening events to the engaging discussions in our committee meetings, the spirit of Aloha was truly present.
Perhaps because of that, this meeting in particular reminded me of the commitment to the rule of law we share as Fellows of the College. At a time when our profession faces increasing scrutiny and challenges, the support we offer one another has never been more vital. That collective sense of purpose was clearly evident throughout our time together.
Past President Andy Coats captured this sentiment perfectly at the Inductee Luncheon when he referred to the College as the finest professional organization in the world. His words encapsulated not just the prestige of the College but the values we uphold. That same admiration and aspiration were echoed by the Inductee Responder Zandra Foley, who remarked that when she grows up, she wants to be Andy Coats – not just for what he said about the College, but for the excellence he exemplified in delivering his remarks.
Our time together reinforced our shared dedication to the College. Thank you for making the Spring Meeting such a meaningful and inspiring gathering. I look forward to seeing many of you at future events as we continue to support one another and defend the principles that define the College and our profession.
Richard H. Deane, Jr.
President
