尊敬的科促会全体会员：

随着科促会新一届执委会首次会议的召开，我们开启了又一个新起点上的征程。

非常感谢大家的信任，委仼我为新一届的科促会会长。我深知协会成立八年来，历届执委和会员们一直都在默默无偿地为协会奉献着，我由衷地感谢你们。
我尤其感谢由林峰会长领军的上一届执委会，近年来已有二百五十余名志同道合者自愿加入科促会与我们同行，同时科促会对国内的科技交流也逐渐向深度和广度拓展。
上一届执委会对科促会的发展功不可没。

虽然我们的协会并非显赫，我们的业绩也谈不上辉煌，但科促会承载着我们的信念和理想，科促会走到今天，每一步都伴随着会员们的热情参与。

面对着繁杂的公务和超负荷的教学安排，对会长一职我曾忐忑过，是会员们的负责精神教育了我，也是你们的热情感染了我，所以我会自觉自愿地欣然领命，轻装上阵，决心尽全力而为，志在不辱使命。

我相信我可以，我更相信我们可以，以我们的努力为新中友谊着色添彩，以高端的科学技术为民造福，为两国交流效力。

让我们共同努力吧！

衷心感谢为科促会无私奉献的会员朋友们

申泽骧敬上
