Dear AOV members!

Welcome to 2025, and welcome to a hopefully active year within the Asia-Oceania VLBI group.

Let me start with my gratitude to you for electing me as your new Chair. I will try to follow through on my plans to bring renewed activity and productivity within this group.

I am pleased to announce Masafumi Ishigaki from GSI as the new secretary.

We are looking forward collaborating under the AOV umbrella with you. One strength of this group has always been open, direct and uncomplicated communication. Please reach out and let us know about anything related to AOV activities.

Kind regards,

Lucia McCallum
