As the saying goes, "Every ending is a new beginning," but for those of us at the EASC office, this particular ending leaves some rather large shoes to fill. This month, we bid a bittersweet farewell to our fantastic News Editor Livia Sold, who is stepping down to embark on her next great adventure.
The Architect of Our Image
When she first took the reins, our newsletter was a collection of ideas waiting for a home. She transformed it into what it is today: a professional, sleek, and unified publication. She didn't just organize the content; she created a visual and structural identity that our members have come to recognize and trust.
Perhaps her greatest talent—and the one we will remember most fondly—was her ability to "nag" us with unparalleled grace. Chasing down busy supervisors and coaches for articles is a task akin to herding cats, yet she did it every single month with a smile. We all came to expect those persistent, polite reminders that kept us on track and ensured our community stayed informed and connected. Without her persistence, many of our best stories would have remained unwritten.
An Unmatched Attitude
Beyond the deadlines and the design, it was her amazing attitude that truly set her apart. No matter how tight the turnaround or how complex the request, she approached the work with energy, humor, and a deep commitment to the EASC mission.
Looking Ahead
While she moves on to new horizons, she leaves behind a legacy of excellence and a much more organized association. We are certainly going to miss her presence in our monthly planning, but we are equally excited for what lies ahead for her.
Dear Livia, thank you for everything! We wish you nothing but the best on your next adventure! Please don’t be a stranger—and don't worry, we'll try to get our articles in on time (though we make no promises without you there to remind us). |
