International Focus Magazine Vol. 2, #1 | Page 7

the first word Editor’s Note F irst of all, I’d like to thank all of the diplomats who have graced the cover of our magazine during our inaugural year. It’s been a pleasure getting to know you and our readers truly appreciate you introducing yourselves to the Greater Houston diplomatic community. The past year has taken iF Magazine from a concept to reality. In the beginning, our vision was to provide a venue of introduction and familiarity for Houston’s international community. As such, the magazine has grown into the vision that created it! Our content has filled out and the diplomatic lifestyle has become integral to the articles we bring you, our readers, every month. As we go into the new year, the magazine encompasses all the elements it needs to fulfill its mission and has the support it needs to continue to grow. At this point, readers and publishers alike are building a magazine that is a guide to living the life of a diplomat in Houston. The coming year is certain to bring changes and opportunities. We, the editors and publishers of iF Magazine, look forward to being a part of the year to come! diplomatically speaking, Anita Long, Managing Editor International Focus (IF) Magazine iF Magazine | www.iFMagazine.net 7
