It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Neil Stewart, a former Committee Chair of IT²EC, who died last week. Neil was a visionary leader and a committed champion for our community of defence training and simulation technology.    Over the years, Neil inspired many of us with his commitment and passion. He helped shape IT²EC into what it is today and left an indelible mark on our industry.   Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those whose lives have been touched by the warmth and tireless dedication of Neil.
