You may have noticed a delay in the release of this issue of Chan Magazine. Like all things subject to impermanence, our magazine, too, is undergoing a period of transition.

After many years of devoted service, our longtime Editor-in-Chief, Buffe Maggie Laffrey, stepped down in 2024. Buffe has led the magazine since 2012 with wisdom, care, and creativity, and we extend our deepest gratitude for her dedication. We also bid farewell to our Art Director, Shaun Chung, who served with great talent and consistency since 2015. We thank Shaun sincerely for his contributions over the years.

In addition to these changes in leadership, Chan Magazine is moving from a print format to a fully digital publication. We will also be introducing modest updates to our content, including the addition of vegetarian and vegan recipes to support mindful living.

As we continue to evolve, this combined Spring/Summer issue marks a new chapter. We appreciate your continued support and understanding as we carry forward the spirit of the magazine in a new form.


With gratitude,
The Editorial Team
