Dear Professor ,

It has been a delight working with authors, prospective authors, reviewers, adopters, and everyone who has stopped by to check out our textbooks. A special thank you to my Editorial Advisory Board, staff at Prospect Press, and my partner Andy.

I am very pleased and excited about new and continued opportunities to serve the Information Systems curriculum and community.
