from another place: André Naffis-Sahely It has been one of the great privileges of my life, but after 3 years I’m stepping down. The Spring 2024 issue will be my last & I’m truly excited to see who will be chosen to lead the magazine starting with the Summer 2024 issue. Good luck to all applicants!
