From the Editor:  Farewell

Laura L. Koppes

The typical term of service for the TIP editor is 3 years, and my term is now complete with this April issue.  This volunteer opportunity has been an extremely rewarding experience, and I am honored to have served SIOP in this capacity.  However, TIP is not the result of one person’s efforts, but results from tremendous assistance of numerous individuals. 

Thank You Editorial Board

To begin, I want to thank all the contributors and editorial board members who reliably provided quality material.  Since 2004, the following SIOP members served on the Editorial Board:

Natalie Allen Derek Avery Adam Bandelli Adrienne Bauer David Costanza Marcus Dickson Michelle Donovan Fritz Drasgow Jaime Durley Arthur Gutman Michael Harris Neil Hauenstein Leaetta Hough Andi Kimbrough Jennifer Kisamore

Frank Landy Bill Macey Jamie Madigan Scott Martin Lynn McFarland Jeff McHenry Paul Muchinsky Corey Munoz Raymond Charles Ottinot David Pollack Miguel Quinones Gabriel Lopez Rivas Lori Foster Thompson Jason Weiss Michael Zickar

Thank You SIOP Administrative Office

The Editorial Board provides the content for each issue of TIP, however, it’s the diligence of the SIOP Administrative Office staff that forms the printed copy you hold in your hands.  I am especially grateful for the assistance of Jenny Baker, who literally takes each article I send her and prepares it for the printer.  She pulls all the parts together to create the entire issue.  Thank you, Jenny!  I genuinely appreciate our Executive Director, David Nershi.  His insights, advice, and support were invaluable.  I would also like to thank Lori Peake, who handles all of the advertising copy as well as proofreading duties. I also thank the other staff members who helped in various ways.  We are fortunate as an organization to have competent, hard-working professionals supporting our vision, mission, and goals.

Concluding Note

I hope you have enjoyed reading TIP over the past 3 years as much as I have delighted in preparing each issue.  I now turn over the leadership to a highly skilled individual, Wendy S. Becker (read more in this issue).  On a personal note, when I began as editor, I was fortunate to be living in Europe where I had the time to reflect and think about my future.  After returning to the U.S., I took a 2-year “sabbatical” to resharpen my I-O competencies through consulting, which has been a worthwhile endeavor.  My passion is teaching and education, and as I close this issue, I will embark upon another journey as the chair and full professor of the Psychology Department at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida.  As I quoted in a previous column, “Nothing endures but change” (Heraclitus), which is certainly true for my life!

Farewell and all my best…
Laura
