As with any move forward, it is important to look back on the experiences of the past to help ensure the success of the future. As we celebrate 75 years of excellence in rheumatology and plan for the future this year, I hope you will join me to guide the organization in the next steps to advance our specialty. Please continue to engage and participate in the discussions that will determine the direction of the organization. Whether it is by sending me an e-mail, posting on a list serve, attending a meeting, or serving as a volunteer on a committee, your input and engagement is welcomed and encouraged. I look forward to listening to your various ideas and diverse perspectives and to learning from you in the upcoming year.
