Salvete Omnes!

As the holiday season comes around the corner, I hope you are enjoying the last bits of 2025! Publishing the Fall edition of Torch: U.S. has been so much fun. Working with my predecessor, Felix, and my mentor, Mr. Turner, we produced an issue filled with the reminiscence of the 2025 Miami convention and updates of events during the fall season. 

I attended the Fall Planning Meeting at Indiana University in the first week of November, where the national board planned for the upcoming 2026 convention. The campus is very gorgeous, and I enjoyed bonding with my fellow officers.

Since then, I have published a new edition of the guide book for local and state editors, which can be found here – please check it out! I have also held meetings with local and state editors to discuss updates and questions they had about their publications.

For any questions concerning the Torch: U.S. or in general, feel free to reach me at editor@njcl.org!
