The Neal A. Maxwell Institute's advisory board has been indispensable in charting our institutional path over the past nearly five years. We've benefited at nearly every turn by their collective wisdom and commitment to our mission. I am pleased to announce the addition of two new board members: Latter-day Saint speaker and writer Darius Gray and Stanford Law associate dean Robert Daines.

Both will continue to enrich our discussions and help us meet our lofty objectives. Both are blessed with brilliant minds and sensitive souls. We're excited to count them among our circle of friends and supporters.

As the board tenures of Neylan McBaine and Steven J. Lund come to an end, I extend my personal gratitude to them for serving the Institute with dedication and vision. We consider them forever part of the Maxwell Institute family. They join a growing list of former board members who have assisted in our work to gather and nurture disciple-scholars who seek to inspire and fortify Latter-day Saints in their testimonies of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and to engage the world of religious ideas.
