I am pleased to take a moment to acknowledge the transition in leadership happening within the National Federation of Paralegal Associations, Inc.(NFPA). Josie Estes, who has served with exceptional dedication as NFPA’s president, will be stepping down, and Lori Wagner will be assuming this vital leadership role. On behalf of incoming AAfPE President Chris Simcox and myself, and the entire American Association for Paralegal Education (AAfPE), we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Josie for her unwavering commitment, leadership, and contributions throughout her term. Josie's efforts have been instrumental in advancing the paralegal profession, and we are deeply appreciative of the impactful work she has done in strengthening our collective mission. At the same time, we are excited to welcome Lori Wagner as the incoming president. We look forward to fostering a strong and collaborative relationship with Lori and the NFPA as we continue working together to further the development of paralegal education and to support the growth and professionalization of paralegals across the nation. We look forward to continuing the excellent relationship between NFPA and AAfPE. We are confident that with Lori's leadership, the paralegal profession will continue to grow and thrive. We remain committed to collaborating toward our shared goals and strengthening the profession through education and advocacy. Warmest regards, Page Beetem AAfPE President
