Being a peer-reviewed journal, Federal Practitioner relies on the dedicated efforts of a great number of unsung (and uncompensated) people, and we would like to recognize these efforts. This journal exists because of the large body of federal health care providers who devote their time and energy to sharing best practices, case studies, literature reviews, and original research. An even larger number of men and women review the many submissions, check the research, and provide essential feedback to our authors. By design, this army of reviewers remains anonymous, but that does not diminish their importance.

Although it would be impossible to adequately thank our reviewers, authors, and other contributors, sufficiently, we are trying. We are delighted to induct some of the most engaged members of the Federal Practitioner community to the Editorial Advisory Association (EAA). The EAA helps guide the journal to ensure it remains focused on the essential issues that confront federal health care providers. Federal Practitioner strives for continuous improvement and is focused on enhancing the breadth, depth, and quality of the online and print content. The EAA plays an important role in that process, and we thank all the current EAA and new members for their guidance.
