Back Cover and commitment will be felt in March 2022 as we foresee most registrants, exhibitors, partners and sponsors coming back and in increased numbers. This season, the African Chapter concluded elections for Board of Directors for the term 2022-2023. I wish to thank the elections committee at large, led by the President-Elect, Dr. JohnWalakira for leading this process with advisory support fromDr. Kevan Main, and the WAS Home Office. Five positions were up for election this year: President-Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, Regional Director (Central Africa) and Regional Director (Southern Africa). I will be announcing the elected officials in my end-of-year message in few weeks’ time, as well as in the next column. We are just waiting for them to get ratified. Watch this space! Lastly, I urge all WAS members and prospective AFRAQ21 attendees to get vaccinated against Covid-19. This is critical as from 1 January 2022, the Egyptian government will be allowing only vaccinated people in its public spaces. I reiterate, make sure you don’t forget to block the dates of 25-28 March 2022 to come to Alexandria City, Egypt where I hope to meet many of you for the AFRAQ21 Conference we have long waited for! Let’s all stay safe and be blessed as we weather through this forth covid-19 wave! — Sherif Sadek, President
