[00:00:00] Happy New Year everyone. Welcome back to the Buzz from ACT-IAC. I'm your host, Joanna Baez. Today is short and simple. I, uh, I just wanna say thank you. This past year reminded all of us how much the federal community carries often, quietly, often behind the scenes, and always with deep commitment. Many of you kept showing up, you kept the mission going, and we saw that.

You can hear it in the voices that came through this show, technologists, contractors, innovators, leaders, early career folks, people who cared deeply about the future of public service.

So as we step into this new year, I want you to hear this clearly. The buzz will keep telling your stories, will keep bringing [00:01:00] clarity where there's noise, humanity, where there's pressure and connection, where there's distance. Thank you for listening. Thank you for the work that you do, and thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your world.

Wishing you all a grounded and inspired start to 2026.
