Associate Editors

We thank Zeger van der Wal, Lee Kuan Yew School

past two years. Zeger was one of our inaugural associate

editors beginning with the January/February 2015

issue. Zeger has toiled relatively anonymously, reading

new submissions, assessing their readiness for peer

review, assisting with the identification of reviewers,

and providing feedback for authors whose manuscripts

do not qualify for peer review. Zeger has reviewed

dozens of manuscripts the past two years. We appreciate

his effort, diligence and professionalism. Public

Administration Review ( PAR ) is better for his service.

We welcome Tanya Heikkila as a new associate editor.

Tanya is professor in the School of Public Affairs at

University of Colorado Denver where she co-directs

the Workshop on Policy Process Research. She brings

to PAR expertise in comparative institutional analysis,

qualitative methods, environmental management, and

collaboration.
