I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this initiative. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend the closing session—my father passed away this past weekend, and his funeral is tomorrow.
Even in this time of grief, I feel deeply grateful and genuinely happy to have been part of such a select group of professionals—brilliant, thoughtful, and kind. Whatever paths you take in your next chapter, I wish you great success and all the happiness the world can offer.
And if any of you ever have bold or unconventional ideas, know that you’ll always have a willing ear—one that, over the decades, has helped turn the impossible into reality, even in the most challenging environments.
Until we meet again,
