In October, we held West Coast Annual Conference in San Diego, bringing together members from both the LA and SD chapters. The event provided an invaluable opportunity for members to not only learn about cutting-edge research but also connect in person with our virtual colleagues and engage in small group mentoring sessions. We were honored to have Dr. Gye-won Han, the founder of KWiSE, delivered the opening address, which reminded us of all KWiSE’ rich history and the importance of our continued collaboration. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Han for her tireless dedication in establishing and nurturing KWiSE over the years!
