As a reminder, Greg would like to find an Assistant Editor for the magazine so that when he is ready to step down in the next year or two, the transition is seamless.
Below is the current job description for the EDITOR position.

- Review Executive Secretary and Chair’s letter, similar to above

Greg has noted that his involvement as Editor requires no more than four hours per issue. It would also be helpful if the person who expresses interest in shadowing his position has Adobe Acrobat Professional or Bluebeam review software (or suitable equivalent). As he's now retired, he no longer has access to this, or any other .pdf file editor.
