Dear Dr. Camp and members of APA Division 20:

In the wake of the untimely death this year of Fredda Blanchard-Fields, Editor of Psychology and Aging, Paul Duberstein has stepped in to serve as Interim Editor through the end of 2012. In light of this schedule, we have initiated the search for a new Editor for Psychology and Aging. The new Editor’s term will run from 2013 through 2018. The search committee is chaired by Leah Light, PhD with Norman Abeles, PhD, Fergus Craik, PhD, William Haley, PhD, Mara Mather, PhD, and Rose Zacks, PhD serving as the search committee.

As the search is now underway, I am writing today to invite and encourage you and Division 20 members to submit nominations for the Editorship of this journal. Nominations may be submitted directly on our Editor Quest portal (http://editorquest.apa.org), or they may be emailed to Sarah Wiederkehr, P&C Board Search Liaison, at sarahw@apa.org. The call for nominations will be open through mid-January 2011. Please include the affiliation of each nominee, including departmental affiliation. I have also attached a brief call for nominations should that be useful.

Thank you for participating in this important opportunity to shape the future of Psychology and Aging. For a look at the current scope of the journal, the composition of the current editorial board, or other information about the journal, please feel free to visit the journal webpage at http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/pag/index.aspx

With warm regards,

Susan
