[Chapter-delegates] Thank You! Sally Wentworth's End of the Year Message

[Caleb Ogundele]

Dear Chapter Leaders, Christine and the Community Engagement Team,

I'd like to join Sally in expressing our deep appreciation to our Chapters
for a great job well done in 2025, especially in helping ISOC achieve its
mission and strategic plans. Indeed, we should all celebrate during this
holiday season as we approach year-end in retrospection of our
accomplishments during the year. Many thanks to Sally and staff for
supporting all our Chapter initiatives, helping to bring about the
accomplishments recorded in our annual snapshots.

I've been privileged to witness the extraordinary work happening across our
global chapter network. The energy and innovation demonstrated during
Community Days and throughout the year reinforce why the chapter community
remains such a vital pillar of the Internet Society's mission.

The monthly Community Snapshots have been particularly valuable for helping
us stay connected to the breadth of activities happening worldwide, and
we're grateful for the work your team does to capture and share these
stories.

With appreciation and best wishes for the new year, cheers to more
accomplishments in the years ahead!
