2026 President’s Letter
Kate Davalos, 2026 Board President
Dear FPA Silicon Valley Members,
Happy New Year! As we step into 2026, I want to take a moment to reflect on the journey we’ve shared and the opportunities that lie ahead. Last year, I spoke about the power of an abundance mindset—the belief that there is more than enough opportunity, knowledge, and success to go around. That mindset continues to be the foundation of our chapter’s growth and the spirit of our profession.
