The 2023 AILA/GMS Annual Global Migration Forum at the Contemporary Resort, Disney, FL, was an excellent conclusion to my year as Chair of GMS. A year of robust programs- webinars, analytic surveys, monthly E -bulletins, EU conference in Vienna, to name a few, culminated with the Global Forum packed with 16 panels, networking reception and dinner, and a visit to Epcot! We had over 125 leading immigration thought leaders and practitioners from all over the world share their insights on key migration topics and trends in their jurisdictions. My thanks to GMS excom- Maria Celebi and incoming Chair William Hummel; Gaby Lessa & Shannon Donnelly, Chair and Vice Chair of the Forum Conference sub- committee; JJ and Alexis Kruen, AILA national staff; dedicated Chairs and members of all 7 GMS subcommittees; and finally, all GMS members who traveled from far and wide to attend…it made this past year truly worthwhile and memorable!
