A Word from the Outgoing Editor

By Lois Marsh

Wow – time flies. I’ve had a great time serving as editor of the P&P SIG newsletter for the past few years. Thanks are due to Raymond Urgo for giving me the opportunity to serve our fantastic SIG. I had to fill some big boots – the job would have been enormously harder without the coaching and support of the previous editor, Kathy Craddock and Audrey Cielinski, past SIG manager and editor.

I’m excited that Abena Edugyan is moving from Associate Editor to Editor-in-Chief. Abena has done a great job supporting me over the past year, and I will be there for her as she gets comfortable in the role. As you’ve seen from her member profile last issue, she has quite a bit of experience with newsletters, so it should be a cakewalk, right Abena? Sure…

And I’m excited about my new role as SIG Co-Manager, supporting Dawnell Claessen. With all this movement in your executive, there are a number of volunteer opportunities – want to pitch in? See the vacancies announcements elsewhere in this issue.

My parting message? Your newsletter is only as good as the content we receive. Got a pet peeve about our field, or even better, a solution to it? Sound off… Abena would love to receive articles from you!
