Dear collaborators,

We are deeply honored to be elected as co-spokespersons and entrusted with the stewardship of our collaboration.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to Dave and Gunther for their exceptional leadership over the past decade, during which sPHENIX has become a remarkable reality. We also would like to thank the hard work of the election committee, Maria, Rosi, Yuko, Tanner. And we would like to thank Anne, Dennis, Hugo, and Stefan for their willingness to stand for election. We look forward to continuing our service together for the collaboration.

Our foremost priority will be to support our incredible efforts as we gear up for the imminent Run25 and QM25. We are immediately starting the work in advancing critical path tasks toward the run and early results for QM.

We encourage everyone to reach out to us to share any concerns or ideas to improve our collaboration. Your insights inspire us, and we will be reaching out to many soon.

Exciting times lie ahead, and together, we will strive for excellence!

Best regards,

Megan Connors  

Jin Huang
