The next deadline for submitting a manuscript for the December issue of the Journal is September 15 ^th . New or potential authors who will be attending the AM/PIC in Fort Wayne should plan to attend the workshop on how to get published in the Journal of NACAA. We are also recruiting members to serve as peer reviewers.

My three-year term as editor of the Journal of NACAA ends in September. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the authors and reviewers I have had the opportunity to work with during my term. We are very pleased that Don Llewellyn of Washington State University will be serving as the new editor with the December issue.
