We are already half way through with 2011 and it has been a busy year with Support Line. 

I would like to take the opportunity to thank some individuals who contribute to the success of Support Line.  Deborah Kuhlman is our managing editor.  She does a fabulous job editing and formatting our publication.  If you have ever been a Support Line author, you are very familiar with the magic Deb performs!

Therese Austin has served as a Support Line associate editor for several years.  She has completed her term and I want to thank her for all her hard work and contributions to Support Line.

Our other associate editors, Kathy Logan Coughlin and Neha Parekh, and two guest editors, Mary Marian and Susan Brantley, have also worked very hard and continue to make Support Line the most valued DNS member benefit.  Thank you all for the time and creativity you have put into Support Line. 

Mary Marian has finished her term as a guest editor, therefore, we have a new guest editor, Mandy Corrigan.  Addtionally, Dema Esper is coming in as a new associate editor.  Welcome Dema and Mandy! 

And, thank you also to Pam Charney, Jamie Diamond, and Don Tinker for all they do to make Support Line and the CE quiz available on the DNS website.

As always, your feedback is important - Support Line is for you so if you have ideas for topics, please contact me or another editor.

Susan Roberts, MS, RD, LD, CNSC
