Dear ESU Community,

As the holiday season brings us together in reflection and celebration, I want to thank each of you for being an integral part of our vibrant ESU community. Together, we are fostering connections, breaking down barriers, and building a more inclusive and understanding world—all through the unifying power of the English language.

The past year has been one of meaningful progress and impact for our organization, made possible by your dedication and support. Whether through our educational programs, cultural exchanges, or Branch events, we’ve witnessed the transformative impact of our work – bringing together people from diverse backgrounds, fostering communication, and creating pathways for mutual understanding and personal growth.

A special highlight was welcoming friends from English-Speaking Unions across the globe to Cleveland for the International Council Meeting. This gathering reminded us of the strength and importance of our global community, united by a shared mission to empower and connect people through the English language.

I am so proud of the countless lives we have touched and the connections we have nurtured.

Looking ahead to the coming year, we promise an extraordinary calendar of activities and events designed to inspire, educate, and connect us all. We look forward to sharing these experiences with you and continuing our journey together.

While on a recent trip to New York City, Michael and I visited with our ESU staff and seized the opportunity to take a photo together. We hope you enjoy this glimpse of the dedicated team whose hard work and passion make everything we do possible.

We all raise a toast to our incredible ESU community!

Here’s to:

Expanding minds

Strengthening friendships, and

Unlocking new opportunities in the year ahead.

Cheers to a Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a prosperous and healthy New Year!

With warm regards and gratitude,
