Letter From The Chairman

Habib Haddad

As we bid farewell to another year, I am filled with gratitude and pride for our community. This year, our organization has truly embodied the spirit of collective power, marking a significant expansion in our reach with new chapters across the United States and Canada. This growth is more than just an increase in numbers; it signifies a crucial inflection point. 

This inflection point comes at a very critical time, where our community, both here and back home, is being tested yet again. We recognize that with our strength comes an increased responsibility to create a real and lasting impact. 

In line with this, we've strategically focused on scaling programs we know have made a difference in the past, to catalyze, empower, and inspire. 

Catalyze: Initiatives like internships and job referrals have been key in catalyzing the start of careers for our members, providing them with practical opportunities to apply their skills and aiding their professional growth and development. 

Empower: Our Fellowship and mentorship programs have been pivotal in empowering individuals, offering transformative experiences that shape careers and lives, and fostering a new generation of leaders and innovators. 

Inspire: Through the Bireme Awards, we have set a standard of excellence, inspiring our community by celebrating exceptional achievements and identifying role models who embody the ideals we aspire to. 

I invite you to engage with us if you haven't already. Believing in bottom-up community building, we are fortunate to have many of you support us and take leadership of initiatives. 

Thank you for your support and commitment.  Wishing you a successful and peaceful 2024!
