From the Editor: Changes at Interfaces

Iwould like to bring to your attention several important changes that have taken place over the last few months. First, you may have noticed that we have changed the tagline for Interfaces from “An International Journal of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences,” to “The INFORMS Journal on the Practice of Operations Research.” I feel this is much more descriptive of the mission of Interfaces and the role it plays in the profession. My thanks go to Bruce Golden of the University of Maryland for suggesting the change. Second, my colleague Uday Rao of the University of Cincinnati has served as deputy editor since 2005. Uday has decided to step down because of an increase in his other responsibilities. Uday, thank you for your service to this journal. Mike Gorman of the University of Dayton has joined the board as new deputy editor. Welcome aboard, Mike. Finally, Candi Gerzevitz has been the production editor throughout my tenure as editor in chief. Candi, I appreciate the superb job you have done in tending to all the details to make sure that the journal gets to and through production and into readers’ hands. Working with you over the last four years has been an absolute pleasure. Best of luck to you with your new assignments with INFORMS. Stephanie Trickey is the new production editor for Interfaces. Stephanie has hit the ground running and we welcome her to the team.
