[IYRPsupportgroup] Searching for a Co-chair, and Blog on sedentist bias in support of IYRP 2026

[Tungaa SG]

Dear Maryam,

Very sad to see you stepping down. I would like to express my heartfelt
gratitude for your invaluable contributions and leadership as Co-Chair of
the IYRP ISG Coalition.
I think colleagues would agree that your leadership role, support, and
encouragement have been instrumental in IYRP GSG achievements so far, and
we are truly grateful to you.
Nevertheless, you will remain as an active member in the ISG for IYRP so I
am happy you will be still around to rely on.

Thanks also for sharing the opinion piece, and access link to WHP blog.
Looking forward to going through it..

With warm regards,

Tungaa
