Eligibility & Qualifications I am submitting my interest based on the following criteria: - *Working Group Leadership:* I serve as the *Current and Pioneer Chair of the AFRALO Newsletter*. In this role, I have been responsible for documenting our community's milestones, which has given me a unique perspective on our institutional history and the evolving needs of our members. - *Long-standing Involvement:* My active engagement with AFRALO spans well over the required five years, during which I have consistently worked to enhance communication and transparency within the region. My Contribution to the AAG As a member of the Advisory Group, I intend to leverage my experience to: - *Support Continuity:* Use my experience as a pioneer chair to help bridge the gap between past initiatives and future strategies. - *Strategic Communication:* Provide insights on how we can better share our successes and navigate internal challenges through clear, experience-based guidance. - *Mentorship:* Offer support to current leadership and newcomers to ensure the sustained growth of AFRALO.
