ALE is very pleased to announce the formal and immediate appointment of Dr. Jacklyn A. Bruce as the JOLE Editor.  Dr. Bruce is an Associate Professor within the Department of Agricultural and Extension Education at North Carolina State University.  She brings a tremendous record of scholarship to the position and we have no doubts that her leadership will bring a rejuvenated vision and direction to JOLE and the field of Leadership Education. 

ALE would also like to extend their sincere appreciation to Dr. Barry Boyd for his efforts as the outgoing Editor of JOLE.  Dr. Boyd's outstanding contributions to the journal and his ability to advance the journal during pivotal times was invaluable.
