To my family - Nicole, Campbell and Jonah - thank you for supporting and encouraging me. I still remember getting the call that I had been selected while we were all sitting on our porch in Georgia. Your excitement for this opportunity showed that I have really spent a LOT of time in, around and talking about SEAHO. I know it's a lot sometimes, but your support has meant the absolute world to me. I love you all so much for your love and support! Friends, it has been my honor to serve as SEAHO's President. I look forward to the future of our Association and working with you all as we strive for excellence in all that we do! With so much SEAHO Love, Sincerely, Ben Wicker SEAHO President, 2024-2025 Director, Florida State University 5
