ASI has also bid farewell to Kristin Johansson, who has accepted the position of managing editor of PCI. I know that all of you who have worked with Kristin in the past join us in wishing her well in her new position.

This issue marks the start of our new managing editor, Brian Hayes. Brian is a 1998 graduate of The Ohio State University, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in English. He has written for a number of publications and organizations, including Dialogue magazine, the U.S. Department of Energy and the Ohio School Facilities Commission. Please join me in welcoming Brian to the adhesives and sealants industry and to ASI.
