Community Editor for Education, Outreach, and Professional Development (EOPD) Technical Community
ASABE is currently seeking nominations for a new community editor for the Education, Outreach, and Professional Development (EOPD) technical community, as the current editor, Monika Gray, will be transitioning to a new position and unable to continue in this role.
The community editor (CE) responsibilities include managing and overseeing an active pool of associate editors, serving on the P-511 Journal Editorial Board committee, screening manuscripts and assigning them to associate editors, making decisions on manuscripts relative to reviewers’ and associate editors’ recommendations, and communicating with the editor-in-chief (EIC) and headquarters staff regarding publication issues. The CE will work to ensure that ASABE’s best practices goals are met. For more details about journal editors and best practices, go to https://asabe.org/EditorsReviewers. The EOPD community typically receives approximately five to ten new manuscript submissions each year. There are significant opportunities for the EOPD community to increase the number of submissions based on the new categories of manuscript submissions that are available. Engagement with the biological and agricultural engineering community of the American Society for Engineering Education is encouraged as a strategy to increase the number of submissions.
CEs are appointed for a three-year term, with their performance reviewed periodically by the editor-in-chief. Reappointment of a CE for a second three-year term is based on approval by the EIC in consultation with the EOPD Executive and Steering Committee. After two consecutive terms, a call for applications for the CE is opened to the ASABE membership. The original CE can apply and be re-elected as part of this call, which starts a new three-year term, with possible renewal for a second three-year term.
All applications will be vetted by the EIC, and qualified candidates will be recommended to the EOPD Executive committee, which will then conduct interviews and recommend a new CE to the EIC by the time of the ASABE Annual International Meeting. The anticipated start date of the new CE term is October 1, 2025, or as soon as a suitable candidate is selected.
Applications should include (1) a current CV and (2) a short statement (no more than one page) of interests and goals, including a description of prior editorial board experience either inside or outside of ASABE. Submit these documents by email to Sudhagar Mani, EIC, at eic@asabe.org by August 31, 2025, for full consideration. Self-nominations are encouraged. Please distribute this call for nominations to interested colleagues.
