President's Message

February 2023

To date, the most enjoyable parts of being President of the AAEA were calls to the new class of AAEA Fellows. Some received the call, worried I would ask them to do something else for the AAEA. Some were so busy that it was hard to reach them, so I had to track them down, literally around the world, or schedule appointments to tell them the good news. However, once I reached them and explained the purpose of the call, the expression of joy was palpable. Smiles shined through the phone. Some voiced whoops of joy. Honestly, I smiled for days from those calls. Again, David, Dawn, Elena, Holly, Keith, and Marc, congratulations on our highest honor. You have demonstrated excellence in your professional endeavors. On behalf of the AAEA, I thank you for all you have done and will continue to do professionally. Further, thank you for what you have contributed to the AAEA. You are examples to us all.
