As you may have noticed, this issue of WEF Highlights is a double March/April issue. This is due to a new editor taking over Highlights as I transition out of my position at WEF. I would like to thank the WEF members and Member Associations who have contributed to Highlights and provided feedback on the publication. It's been a pleasure working with you all.
