Associate Editors
Reviewers and associate editors are key to the peer-review process, ensuring that manuscripts published in Lake and Reservoir Management (LRM) are of high quality and relevant to the field. All reviewers and associate editors are volunteers, with busy professional and personal lives, and we appreciate that they contribute their expertise to the journal. We offer our sincere thanks to our reviewers and the entire Editorial Board for their service to LRM. We would especially like to recognize the outstanding contributions of the following associate editors, who have recently retired from LRM’s Editorial Board after many years of dedicated service:
Dr. Jean Jacoby served for 25 years (1995–2020).
Dr. David Soballe served for 31 years (1989–2020).
In addition, we would like to welcome 4 new associate editors to the Editorial Board:
Dr. Dana Bigham Stephens is currently Dean of Arts and Sciences and Director of the Mattie M. Kelly Environmental Institute at Northwest Florida State College.

Dana received her Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from the University of Florida in fisheries and aquatic sciences and her B.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in biological conservation and zoology. After joining the North American Lake Management Society in 2006, Dana served 2 terms as Student Director and 5 years as Awards Chair.
Dr. Brian Ginn is a limnologist at the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority in Newmarket, Ontario, and a NALMS Certified Lake Manager.
