9. Overall, serving as the communications chair has really enabled me to expand my thinking on how to better the serve the CIE community. I've learned and grown so much from this experience. Thanks everyone!

Now, it is time to say goodbye and wishing the best for the new chairs!

8. When I first took over the SIG as the Comms chair, we had around 100+ followers on X, now we have around 550+. The number could be much greater if not for the exodus of academics.

We're the only SIG from CIES at BlueSky! And also on LinkedIn!

7. In the 2024 edition, I put together the 2024 Programme Booklet for GESIG! And I am glad Helen Seitzer continued the tradition for 2025!

6. Organizing the first INECS Conferences under the GESIG banner. I had the pleasure to put this together but did not see to the end of it because my father died. Ultimately, thanks to the GESIG team for taking over! @helenseitzer.bsky.social @santosiris.bsky.social @simonaszakbehl.bsky.social

5. We covered other education conferences, such as BAICE, ECER, and CESE! It was a delightful surprise when Toni Verger acknowledged my work at ECER!

4. Curated the 5 Key Takeaways which received some good attention, but sadly I could not continue this in a more sustainable manner, but the pilot that we did was a success and gained a lot of traction!

3. We brought back the Newsletters in a more consistent manner, although I sometimes failed to deliver on time, but the newsletter became the heartbeat of the SIG.

2. The second one was paying homage to our Former GESIG Officers. I felt really happy putting this together to ensure there was a sense of history, simultaneously a sense of continuity of the SIG:

1. The first thing we did was revamp the website and put things in sequence. We gave a new look to it, adding a sense of professionalism.

SHE'S THE BEST!

I definitely see Pritha Dahal there!
