<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Dear Community, <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This week, we had the immense joy of hosting the largest ISOC@LACNIC
<span lang="EN-US">LACNOG</span> event <span lang="EN-US">after pandemic</span>, bringing together
<b>38 passionate </b><b><span lang="EN-US">members</span></b>! The energy in the room was nothing short of electric, as we gathered to reflect on the remarkable journey of our chapters and to celebrate their many achievements<span lang="EN-US">, including our
recent Community Day were we shared some <a href="https://heyzine.com/flip-book/b89794494e.html#page/1" target="_blank">
LAC chapters wins during 2024.</a><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the highlights of the event was a heartfelt tribute from the
<b>Paraguay </b><b><span lang="EN-US">C</span>hapter</b> to Joyce Dogniez. They expressed deep gratitude for her invaluable support in establishing their chapter 12 years ago. It was a touching reminder of the
<b>friendships and collaborations that have shaped our community over the years.</b><span lang="ES-TRAD"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-TRAD"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we shared stories and insights, we couldn’t help but feel the excitement building for next year’s projects.
<span lang="EN-US">Conversations about </span>focusing on Community Networks (CNs) for indigenous communities<span lang="EN-US"> arrived as</span> a promise for fostering connection and empowerment
<span lang="EN-US">in our regional communities</span>.<span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Though these gatherings are informal, I always say this is where the
<b>magic happens</b>! It’s in these moments of <b>connection and collaboration that we lay the groundwork for future successes</b>. Your contributions make these events not just possible, but
<b>truly extraordinary</b>.<span lang="ES-TRAD"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
