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
