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

Mon Dec 22 21:14:10 PST 2025

Dear Christine and Community Engagement Team,

Thank you for sharing the CEO, Sally Wentworth's end-of-year message and
for your own kind words. We deeply appreciate the continued support and
dedication of the Internet Society staff throughout the year.

The vision of an Internet for Everyone is one we are incredibly proud to
champion, and it is inspiring to see the collective impact of the chapter
network highlighted in the Community Snapshots and during Community Days.

We look forward to reconnecting in the new year with renewed energy.
Wishing you and the entire Internet Society team a restful and joyful
holiday season.

Best regards,

Thoko Miya
