With this issue we welcome Dr. Robin Eastwood as the new editor-in-chief of International Psychogeriatrics. His appointment follows a comprehensive search for an editor with long-standing experience in psychogeriatrics, an extensive clinical and research background, and prior knowledge of journal editing. We wanted an editor who has also published articles in refereed journals and who has an international orientation. Dr. Eastwood exemplifies all these qualities and thus, after an extensive search, he received unanimous support from the publications committee as well as the International Psychogeriatric Association Board of Directors.
