John - I am excited to be part of the ISN team and to share some recent news and voices from around the network, including our 20th anniversary.

John,

Greetings on this summer solstice! I'm honored to have joined ISN as the assistant director of communications during the milestone moment of ISN's 20th anniversary ([link removed]) ! I've been a proud member of the Ignatian family since my undergraduate days, and it's amazing to remember moments in my own life that have intersected with ISN's history ([link removed]) or recall where I was during those pivotal times. What memories stand out most for you in ISN history?

In this edition of "News and Voices," we invite you to celebrate our outgoing ISN board members ([link removed]) , who helped ISN to flourish during their terms of service. In other recent news, Executive Director Christopher Kerr spent a week with global Jesuit leaders in Rome ([link removed]) . Clarissa Aljentera, director of Education for Justice, facilitated the first "Cultivating Renewal: Engaging Signs of the Times" gathering ([link removed]) for secondary educators. Finally, in response to President Biden's recent executive actions related to the border, we urge you to join us in demanding that his administration restore access to asylum ([link removed]) .

I look forward to continued engagement with you all and thank you for the ways you encourage and embody "a faith that does justice!"

Gratefully,
