Farewell
by Celia Lerman Friedman Nov. 11, 2016

Nov. 11, 2016

Dear members of the ccNSO council, Just a special note to say farewell as my term at the council is ending. As a NomCom councillor from Latin America, the experience has been an unforgettable one where I have met friends and many of the most interesting people I know along the way. My first impression at the ccNSO was what an amazing community the ccs form, how enriching the ccNSO Meeting Days are and what incredible things can be reached with commitment and coordination from the community. Three years after this impression has only strengthened! It has been a pleasure to collaborate and work periodically in the committees. I thank you all for welcoming NomCom councillors, especially in my case where for personal reasons it became harder to travel. A special thanks to the Secretariat for their devoted work. Farewell and hope to see you soon, either in Argentina or in the multiple IG fora! Celia
