As we begin a new Pilot year, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our outgoing Governor, Sheila and the 2025–2026 District Administrative Council for their dedicated leadership, faithful service, and lasting contributions to our District.

It is with great humility and gratitude that I accept the honour of serving as your Governor. I look forward to working with each of you as we embrace the opportunities and challenges of the year ahead.

Our theme: "Celebrating the Amazing Spirit of Pilot: United in Friendship; Driven by Service," reflects the heart of who we are. Together, we will strengthen the bonds of friendship, inspire one another through service, and continue to exemplify our Pilot motto, "True Course Ever."

As we build on the legacy of those who have gone before us, let us move forward with purpose, unity, and enthusiasm. By working together, supporting one another, and remaining committed to our mission, we will continue to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of those we serve throughout our communities.

Thank you for your confidence, your encouragement, and your commitment to Pilot. I am excited for all that we will accomplish together as we celebrate the "Amazing Spirit of Pilot: United in Friendship; Driven by Service.
