Dear NNPA Family, As we reflect on blessings, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the challenges we have faced together. Despite the obstacles, we have remained steadfast in our mission to be a powerful advocate and voice for our readers, viewers, and listeners. Your unwavering dedication has been a testament to our shared commitment and strength. As we enter this joyous holiday season, I am reminded of the peace, comfort, and hope that this time of year represents. For many, it is a time to celebrate the remembrance of a Savior, a Comforter, and a Wonderful Counselor who brings light and guidance to our lives. In the spirit of the season, I extend my warmest holiday greetings to you and your loved ones. Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, and blessings to each of you. May this season bring joy and renewal as we prepare for the year ahead. I also want to address some misinformation circulating regarding the NNPA. Claims about financial difficulties preventing us from meeting payroll are entirely false. The NNPA has never missed payroll, and our office remains open, with some staff working remotely. Let us continue to focus on our mission and the incredible work we are doing together and not the false accusations that are trying to tear us down. Additionally, I am pleased to announce that the NNPA app is back online and fully functional, and plans for our Mid-Winter Conference have been finalized. More details will be shared soon. As we close out this year, let us embrace the true spirit of TEAMM—Together Each Accomplishes Much More. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Wishing you and your families a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year. Yours in the struggle, Bobby R. Henry, Sr. Chairman, NNPA
