LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR2020 was a year unlike any other. First and foremost, I wish to thank each and every one of youfor your collegiality, patience, and collaboration as we navigated extremely challenging times.Thankfully, however, with challenging times, come unprecedented opportunities.Our first virtual National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW) held in September, was led by anexceptional group of dedicated individuals from multiple institutions who, together with the NPAstaff, coordinated 35 virtual events nationwide, bringing our total to over 300 NPAW events. Wewere thrilled to showcase our 2020 Mentor of Year award recipient, John Beacom, Ph.D., as wellas mentoring expert Christine Pfund, Ph.D. in a virtual NPAW keynote. This year’s shared virtualevents opened our eyes to the myriad possibilities available to our community when we embracecollaboration and partnership.The advent of COVID-19 provided unparalleled opportunities for building partnerships throughcollaborative efforts. In response to immigration restrictions that disportionately impacted theinternational scholars community, we partnered with the American Psychological Association(APA) to host a special webinar to discuss visa challenges and international policies. As a crucialtime for bridging the gap between scientists and the public, we partnered with the Association forWomen in Science (AWIS) to host a viewing of the world-renowned feature film Picture a Scientist.Further, we, together with leadership from the Graduate Career Consortium (GCC) and the Officeof Career and Professional Development at the University of California, San Francisco, begana dialogue among our community members about better serving our populations and takingcare of ourselves and our teams. The conversation, titled Lived Experiences and Real Narratives(#LEARNInitiative), was hosted on Twitter.With the global spotlight on scientists, the NPA spoke on behalf of its membership in severalof our community’s leading journals; the Nature Careers podcast series on postdocs; and atinternational conferences, including the Wellcome Trust-supported Research on ResearchInstitute’s Reimagining the Postdoctoral Experience and the Canadian Science Policy Conference.Listening and responding to our community, we were impressed and humbled by the resilientspirits of postdocs and those that support them. The POSTDOCket published a special edition onthe impacts of COVID-19 during the early days of the pandemic which demonstrated the strengthof our amazing community. We continue to collect stories in a continuous and intentional effort tostay connected with those that we endeavor to help.And, last but certainly not least, we were thrilled to welcome our new Executive Director and CEO,Thomas P. Kimbis, J.D. Tom brings fresh perspectives and a plethora of experience in partnershipbuilding, strategic planning, and nonprofit leadership to this position. Please join us in sharing thewarmest of welcomes!2020 afforded the NPA an opportunity to learn and grow. We wish to extend our sincerestgratitude to our supporters who enabled us to weather an extraordinary year. Emerging from2020 with newfound resilience, we will remain committed to our mission, providing professionaldevelopment, facilitating connections, raising awareness, and collaborating with diversestakeholders in the postdoctoral community.With deepest appreciation,Barbara J.
