In closing, I thank the many people who help me in ensuring the continuing quality and usefulness of the Journal. First, the distinguished members of the International Editorial Board of the Journal are acknowledged for their tireless reviewing work. Every paper submitted to the Journal is reviewed by at least one board member. Board members are appointed by the editor for 2-year renewable terms. In addition to providing timely reviews of exceptionally high quality, board members provide valuable input to the editor on the directions and policies of the Journal. Second, I thank the many reviewers who are not on the board yet provide equally important critiques of manuscripts. I try to keep the number of reviews by nonmembers of the board to no more than one or two manuscripts per year. Reviewers are listed by name in the last Journal issue each year. Additional persons who are interested in reviewing papers for the journal are encouraged to notify me with their contact information and technical area of interest. Finally, I thank Ms. Renee Lindenberg, who assists me in the management of the Journal at Penn State and ensures that deadlines are met, and Ms. Johanna Reinhart and Ms. Jackie Perry at ASCE headquarters for their expert handling of all manuscripts and valuable advice on many editorial matters.
