<p>Dear Chapter Leaders,</p>
<p>I’m <b>Safidinirina Razafiarison</b>, a proud <b>young member, </b>and former <b>President </b>of <b>ISOC Madagascar</b>, and I’m running for the <b>Chapter Advisory Council (ChAC) Steering Committee</b>.</p>
<p>I’ve been actively involved with <b>ISOC Madagascar since 2020</b>, starting as a <b>volunteer </b>and later became <b>President of ISOC Madagascar </b>leading several national projects supported by the <b>ISOC Foundation</b>.</p><p>We’ve reached <b>over 1,500 Malagasy youth</b>,
empowering them through technology, training, awareness, inclusion and
connecting them through digital literacy, cybersecurity, and community
initiatives. What drives me most is <b>creating bridges</b> between youth, experts, and global changemakers.
<br></p><p>
Having lived and studied in <b>Madagascar, India, and South Korea</b>,
I’ve seen how people from completely different cultures can share the
same dream to use the Internet as a tool for connection and progress.
These experiences taught me that when we combine <b>local passion with global collaboration</b>,
we can create impact that truly transcends borders. I believe that the
same spirit of openness and innovation should guide our ISOC community
moving forward.
</p><h3>💡 <b>My Motivation</b></h3>
<p>I’m standing for the ChAC Steering Committee because I want to <b>bring the youth perspective to the heart of ISOC’s global strategy</b>; to make sure that <i>our generation not only participates, but helps lead</i> the change.<br><br>I
want to continue connecting chapters, amplifying local voices, and
ensuring that every idea, big or small, has a chance to grow and inspire
others.</p><h3>🌍 <b>Vision for 2026</b></h3><p>
By 2026, I see a chapter network that believes in the <b>power of</b> its <b>young members, </b>not just as participants, but as <b>innovators </b>and <b>leaders </b>shaping real solutions.</p><p>I want to help create <b>bridges between generations, </b>where mentorship meets fresh ideas, and where <b>every young person, </b>from a big city to a remote village, <b>feels seen, supported, </b>and <b>inspired to lead. </b></p><p>Together, we can make ISOC a community where voices of all ages and backgrounds unite to shape a safer, fairer digital future.</p><p><br></p><p>Because <b>every click can change a life</b>, let’s make the Internet a force for connection, equality, and opportunity; for all, and especially for the next generation.</p>
<p>With passion and purpose,<br><b>Safidinirina Razafiarison</b><br>
