As the year draws to a close, we want to begin with sincere gratitude. In so many ways—through your clinical work, teaching, research, advocacy, mentorship, and generosity—you sustain NASPAG’s mission and one another. At a time when the reproductive health of children and adolescents faces heightened social and political pressures, your commitment as a NASPAG member matters deeply.

We are thankful for all the ways you show up for young people and for this community, and we hope this season brings you moments of rest, connection, and renewal.

This coming year holds special significance for NASPAG. In 2026, we will host the World Congress of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (WCPAG) for the first time in over three decades, while also celebrating NASPAG’s 40th anniversary. We are working intentionally to welcome our global colleagues with accessible registration options and language translation support—ensuring the Congress reflects our shared values of equity, inclusion, and collaboration. These efforts are ambitious, and they are only possible because of the collective strength behind NASPAG.

Over the past year, that strength has been evident across our programs. We hosted engaging webinars, continued to expand our growing library of educational resources, sustained meaningful support for research, and nurtured fellowships throughout North America. We also took important steps to improve NASPAG’s administrative effectiveness, transparency, and long-term sustainability—welcoming David Macek as Executive Director and partnering with industry leaders Veritas and Jitasa to provide dedicated meeting management and financial stewardship in service of our members and programs.

Together, we are investing in both the present and the future of pediatric and adolescent gynecology.

As you consider end-of-year giving, we invite you to support NASPAG in a way that feels meaningful to you. Gifts to the Friends of NASPAG Endowment Fund help ensure future leaders in PAG have a strong foundation for years to come, while contributions to our education and scholarship funds—the Sanfilippo Education Fund, Young Scholars Fund, or S. Jean Emans Fund—create immediate impact.

Thank you for being part of NASPAG and for all you do to advance the health and well-being of young people worldwide. We wish you a peaceful holiday season and a hopeful start to the year ahead.

With gratitude,
