Message from the president

This is my first letter to Liaison as SSC president. I was thinking a lot about what I should write.  I joined the SSC executive committee a year ago. I was also the president of the SSC probability section in the past. I wasn’t involved in the management of the SSC except in organizing/participating in invited sessions or workshops. I always thought I didn’t have the skills to handle a leadership role, and I always admired those serving our community! I do believe that everyone can help the community in their way.
