Josh Lockwood, Sa Bom Nim

Happy New Year Everyone -

I hope this message finds you well and that each of you had an enjoyable Holiday Season with family and friends.

As we turn our focus to 2025, we look for your continued active participation as we connect through training and strive to improve human relations in doing so. As you know, we have already confirmed the dates / location for the 2025 National Festival and Golden Jubilee Celebration in July and will be sharing the event details soon to begin the registration process. Additionally, information on the 2025 Virtual Nationals will be communicated shortly as we will conduct that event during the first part of the year. Lastly, we are working to secure the 2025 Moment with the Masters and Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa dates / location within the next month to support advanced planning to attend. The Ko Dan Ja candidate recommendation process has begun, and we will share the invitations with those candidates by early February. Throughout the year, TAC will be organizing virtual and in-person seminars in addition to the events noted above, be on the lookout for that information to ensure we stay connected.

On behalf of the Kwan Jang Nim, I would like to announce that Christy Cooper Sa Bom Nim has been appointed to the Technical Advisory Committee serving on the Jin Heung Bu.
