I'd like to announce here on my blog...TA DAAAA...that AEA has hired Beth O'Hara as the Associate Editor of Army Engineer magazine. She will begin the "learning process" as far as magazine workflow is concerned, but she's already an accomplished digital and print media specialist. Beth is no stranger to the Corps of Engineers, as her spouse is now the commander of the St. Louis Engineer District.
I'm excited to have someone like her to help me bring a new look to the magazine over the next year. If all goes as planned, she will eventually take over as editor when I decide it's time to spend 100% of my time with a camera in hand. One of her first projects in the spring/early summer of 2011 will be to redesign AEA's website. Working with her is going to be lots of fun...and strange at the same time, because up until now I've been a one-person production department. Welcome Beth!
