Dear colleagues and friends, Hope you’ve been doing well there. As those of you who attended our annual meeting in Seattle know, the Society has appointed several new officers, including the president, the secretary, and the journal editors. Please check out our website <https://www.songyuan.org/about.html> for more details about the new team and our roles. As the outgoing secretary, I’m writing my final message and introducing our new secretary, Professor Yiwen Li <https://scholars.cityu.edu.hk/en/persons/yiwen-li(87b1c421-14c3-44a2-a8e6-f748d53acfb3).html>. I also wanted to share a practical tip with those of you who are new to using listserv. Every listserv member can easily send group emails by addressing them to "listserv@mail.songyuan.org" and hitting "send" once the message is ready. You don't need to ask the secretary to send your message unless you find it more appropriate for some reason. I hope this clarity helps all members make better use of this communication tool. We encourage you to review your message’s content before sharing it. Let’s keep the listserv a space for valuable and effective information. Thank you for your continued support of the Society!
