2024 was an adventurous and challenging year that provided many of us with opportunities to grow and make changes. We welcomed our new SASAS council at the AGM held at the 2024 congress and are excited about the renewed efforts from all going forward! We look forward to a productive 2025 for SASAS and wish all our members a successful 2025!
