It’s
time to make a loud and clear statement of values.
Almost continuously since this magazine’s inception in 1958, we have upheld a
tradition of featuring the ASA president on the cover of the annual ASA Convention
edition, coupled with an article derived from interviewing the subjects. In
function these articles serve as an annual “State of the Industry” report. Just
as decent citizens will show respect to the U.S. Presidency whether or not they
agree with the policies of the office holder, it is not the individuals being
honored as much as the constituency they represent. It is our way of showing
support for the industry as a whole.
