As my time as BICSI Board President draws to a close, I am writing to reflect on the incredible journey we have shared over the past two years. It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to serve you, and I am filled with gratitude for your trust and support. Together, we faced challenges and achieved significant milestones. I am particularly proud of the collaboration between our volunteer members, BICSI staff and board members. This role has repeatedly reaffirmed my belief that your active engagement and commitment have kept our great association essential and relevant to the information and communications technology (ICT) industry. As we transition to new leadership, I am confident that the association is in a strong position to continue its growth. I look forward to seeing what the future holds and will remain an advocate of our mission to advance the ICT profession. There are many ways for our volunteer members to contribute to the continued success of BICSI, ranging from the numerous volunteer committees to participation as a subject matter expert content provider. Sharing your
knowledge helps educate other members and enhances BICSI's reputation as the premier global ICT industry association. The most impactful contributions often involve sharing their skills, time, and insights to build a stronger, more engaged association. As you explore this Special Premises issue, we encourage you to apply these best practices in your venues and share the outcomes with your peers. If you’d like to contribute more directly, BICSI’s volunteer committees and workgroups offer meaningful ways to influence standards, education, and guidance for complex environments like airports and stadiums. Thank you again for this rewarding experience. I wish you all the best. As always, Go BICSI!
