It’s time for me to step down as editor of the ASJA Weekly, and as I leave, I’m trying to help find my replacement. The job is simple and takes only about 1-3 hours a week. I loved knowing what was going on (before most everyone else), and I loved working with a great group of ASJA and Kellen folk. If you are interested in this role, email me at brenda@brendalange.com and I’ll tell you all about it.
