FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR •Environmental sustainability can no longer be ignored. What is the ASA’s obligation to the planet? How do we promote and employ awareness and best practices as ASA members and citizens of the planet? • One question has a permanent place on my radar: What do I need to be aware of that I’m not? With these trends and others in mind, the future, although now foggy and fraught, presents as much opportunity as it does threat. I’m grateful to the thousands of people who as members support the ASA. I’m grateful to our staff, to our leadership, to you. I think of us as an ant raft, coming together in rough waters, connecting, constructing, emergingbuoyant,andridingitouttotheotherside.To me, this is the meaning at the heart of resilience. In com- munity, we win far more than we lose. Onward! Contact Information Susan E.
