Ms. Labinaz is known to many of our IGS Members as the Production Editor of the IGS journal Geosynthetics International 1995. She has carried out her duties with the Journal in an exemplary manner. The IGS is indeed fortunate that her geotechnical, editorial, and technical experience is now available to continue the tradition of excellence that all IGS Members expect of the Newsletter. All members are encouraged to assist Ms. Labinaz in her new position by submitting articles to IGS News. Articles on geosynthetics meetings, awards to members, conferences, developments, and case histories are welcome.
Photographs are particularly welcome.
