2024 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Leading with Purpose: A Message from AEC Foundation's Chairman

Xudong Jia, PhD, PE, February 10, 2024

Dear Esteemed Sustainability Advocates and Partners,

I am delighted to share the exciting news that I will be assuming the role of Chairman at the All-Earth Citizens Foundation (AEC). It is with great enthusiasm that I embark on this journey with such an exceptional organization dedicated to instilling leadership and leveraging STEM for sustainability.

As a lifelong advocate for STEM education, I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to lead and mentor AEC educators. I firmly believe that educators play a pivotal role in shaping tomorrow's leaders, and I am committed to providing them with the support they need to empower the next generation of change-makers.

Aligned with AEC's mission, I am devoted to aligning our educational objectives with the 2030 United Nations Development Goals (UNDGs). By integrating these global goals into our initiatives, we can make a meaningful contribution to addressing pressing global challenges and fostering a more sustainable future.

As we approach the year 2030, it is evident that there is still much work to be done. I am excited about the opportunity to incorporate the UNDGs into our work at AEC and propel our mission forward with renewed focus and determination.

I am particularly excited about the upcoming 2024 Youth STEM Learning and Leadership Forum (YSLL) and our continued partnership with TED-Ed. These platforms provide invaluable opportunities for young leaders to engage with cutting-edge STEM developments and contribute to the advancement of Earth and Space Science, Health and Life Sciences, Engineering, and Artificial Intelligence.

I am deeply grateful for the warm welcome into the AEC family, and I am committed to working tirelessly with all of you to fulfill AEC's vision and create a future that is not only technologically advanced but also sustainable and enriching for all.

Warmest regards,

Xudong Jia, Ph.D., PE
Chairman, All-Earth Citizens Foundation
