From the President

Dear Federation Family,

Jacksonville, hats off to you. Many months of hard work gave rise to a great 93rd convention. We will always recognize and remember our convention leaders who were instrumental in planning and executing such a feat. But we must pay tribute to our volunteers who silently and seamlessly made our event spectacular. Thank you all for making Jacksonville one to remember.

I write these words feeling very proud of belonging to this incredible family we all call Our Federation. This is a great honor and a tremendous responsibility. Building upon what my predecessors have already accomplished is where I start and ensuring I hand a more prosperous Federation over to our next leader is my vision.
As you may know, the Cedar Seeds program has been the cornerstone of my vision of Our Federation. Months before the convention, I started working with our leaders on a plan to increase the visibility of this program and expand its reach for the good of Our Federation. I am very excited and hopeful that working with our leadership in the next few months, I will share with you the New Horizons plan, so stay tuned!

As for our young adults and professionals, this is the time to sign up for our 2025 Cedars Seeds project in Lebanon. It will be an experience you will never forget!

In closing, I am looking forward for an incredible year ahead working with our Vice President, they Board of Directors and its leadership, and our Foundation and its leadership. I know Atlanta and Kansas City preparations are well underway and the excitement is in the air, so start planning.

Truthfully yours,

Osama Abounasr
