I hope you all had a safe and joyous holiday season. We have a lot to look forward to this year and I hope \RXFDQ¿QGDZD\WRSDUWLFLSDWHLQRQHRUPRUHRI the SETP activities we have planned for you this year. The symposium season kicked off in October with a joint SETP/SFTE symposium in Ft Worth, Texas and a European Flight Test Safety Committee Workshop in Amsterdam, Netherlands. These local symposia offer a fantastic opportunity for members to share lessons learned and connect with fellow testers in the area at a very low cost. I encourage all members to make time to attend at least one regional symposium this year. Just check out the “Symposia” tab on the SETP.org website to get more information on upcoming symposia. Kevin Prosser (AF) I also need to thank Doug Benjamin and his Board Calspan of Directors for handing me the stick with the Society SETP President ZHOOWULPPHGDQGKXPPLQJDORQJHI¿FLHQWO\'HVSLWH WKHVLJQLILFDQWFKDOOHQJHVWKDWWKH6HTXHVWHUWUDYHO UHVWULFWLRQVDQGDIXUORXJKWKUXVWXSRQWKH6RFLHW\RXUPLVVLRQRILPSURYLQJÀLJKWWHVW
