July 29, 2020

Dear Sergio Congratulations on this major milestone for LACRALO. It has truly been a team effort over a long period of time, but well worth it for the region. Many thanks to the LACRALO Governance Working Group and David Plumb, but also to the LACRALO community for everyone's contribution to this achievement. I look forward to seeing more faces (or in our current situation, hearing more voices) from LACRALO in the discussions we have in At-Large. Thank you again and well done.
