Dear Colleagues,

As the 2025-2026 President of the World Allergy Organization, allow me to personally thank each and every one of you for your support and trust in us. I recognize that this role comes with major responsibilities, but I am confident that WAO will continue to be a leading organization in the advancement of allergy and clinical immunology research and clinical practice.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the 2023-2024 Board of Directors for their leadership and expertise. Many of whom have already been involved with WAO for multiple years as committee members, volunteer leaders, and society representatives. We could not do what we do without their unwavering dedication, time, and effort to our mission and vision.

There are so many programs, projects, and meetings already in the plans for this year. Read below about some of our upcoming events and opportunities!

Once again, thank you for your support! There are 115 WAO Member Societies represented by 92 countries and made up of over 40,000 individuals -- YOU are ONE of those 40,000+ individual members of WAO. We couldn't do what we do without you! THANK YOU!

Sincerely,

Mário Morais Almeida
President, World Allergy Organization
