<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Logistics and Supply Chain Management Scholars,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you may be aware —Terry Esper, Chris Hofer, and Rod Thomas—will be the new Editors-in-Chief of <b><i>Journal of Business Logistics</i></b> beginning in 2026. Our goal is to maintain JBL's positive trajectory and continually enhance the <i>Journal's </i>stature
as a premiere supply chain management publication. We seek to advance academic discourse and managerial practice. Accomplishing these goals requires contributions and engagement of authors, review team members, and readers. Hence, we would like to solicit
your thoughts and suggestions via a brief survey: <a href="https://waltonuark.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0wDn9fmu6lv8Kd8" title="Original URL: https://waltonuark.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0wDn9fmu6lv8Kd8. Click or tap if you trust this link.">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Completing this survey should take just a few minutes and will help us better serve the <i>Journal </i>and our community. You may provide your name and email address at the end of the survey, but this is not required.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We greatly appreciate your time and insights—thank you!<o:p></o:p></p>
