SRA Council Launches Search for a Successor to Journal Editor

Source: The Society for Risk Analysis' RISK newsletter, Third Quarter 1995

Risk Analysis: An International Journal, with its broad multidisciplinary content and incisive analyses, has provided a major contribution to the success of the Society for Risk Analysis. Vital to the journal's quality and appeal has been its editor, Curtis C. Travis, whose commitment has been a mainstay of its operation.

After more than 12 years of devoted service as editor, Travis is looking toward eventually handing over the reins of the journal to a worthy successor. The Society has launched a two-year effort to find a new editor with the formation of a committee, chaired by SRA Past President Robert G. Tardiff, which will develop criteria and search the halls of academia, government, and industry for someone who will follow in the journal's tradition and also expand its content to reflect the SRA membership's broadening interests. Serving on the committee are SRA President M. Elisabeth Paté-Cornell; former Presidents Elizabeth L. Anderson, B. John Garrick, Lester B. Lave, and Curtis C. Travis; and Fellow M. Granger Morgan.

The SRA Council requests the SRA membership to recommend candidates to be considered for the editor's position. Recommendations should include the candidate's affiliation, address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address, and a brief (200 words or less) description of what makes the individual a desirable candidate. Please send your recommendations in writing by November 17, 1995, to the Society's executive secretary, Richard J. Burk Jr., at the address listed in the box to the left.
