Reflections of original editorial board membersIntroduction

An editorial board comprises eminent people in the journal ’ s fi eld whose role is to support the editor and where appropriate, provide advice. Editorial board members can promote the journal through their networks. An important role of editorial board members is to peer review manuscripts submitted to the journal. From the fi rst edition of the journal, many distin-guished international and Australian academics and others from the fi eld of career development have made a generous contribution to the journal by serving on its editorial board. We are fortunate in this special issue to have contributions from two members of the original editorial board, Col McCowan and Norman Amundson. We thank them both for sharing their re fl ections with us.
