The March issue of the Journal of Germanic Linguistics in 2024 (JGL 36.1) is the first issue for which I will serve as Editor and Chair of the Editorial Committee. I am humbled and honored to take on this responsibility, and I look forward to working with so many great colleagues without whom this journal would not be possible. First, I would like to thank Tracy Hall, the outgoing Editor of the journal who served in this role tirelessly for a full nine years between 2015 and 2023. The journal is in a position of great strength due to Tracy’s strong sense of fairness, tremendous organizational skills, and great eye for detail. I am grateful for the numerous meetings with Tracy and all the time that he set aside to discuss everything related to reviewing manuscripts, communicating with reviewers and authors, copyediting, proofreading, and working with Cambridge University Press to get the journal issues ready for production four times a year. Tracy had everything set up so well that I was able to hit the ground running in the last few months of 2023, and I am forever grateful that I could shadow him as preparations were made for JGL 36.1. I am also happy to say that Tracy will continue to serve the JGL Editorial Board by taking on the position of Consulting Editor. I will certainly continue to benefit from his guiding hand throughout the transition and beyond. JGL is fortunate to have solid and continued support from members of the Editorial Board, including Richard Page as the Book Review Editor and Carley Arnett, who serves as the Subscriptions Editor, as well as a long list of members of the Advisory Board who are available for consulting and advice to help keep the journal at the high standard that we have grown accustomed to. Lastly, I would like to thank the Society for Germanic Linguistics, both the members at large and the executive committee, for their support of the journal. It is wonderful to think about the future opportunities for disseminating new and exciting research in our field that are made possible by this strong academic community.
