English, who are no longer with us. Though they have passed on, their vision and dedication continue to inspire and guide us. We remember, respect, and revere these pioneers whose efforts laid the groundwork for our organization. Our commitment to their legacy remains steadfast as we strive to uphold and advance the principles they established.
