Welcome to the first bi-annual issue of the journal "Review of Professional Management" for the year 2009. When we published the last issue of our Journal {Vol.6 Issue 2) during winter last year, the financial crisis was just unfolding. Now 6 months later, we all have a better understanding of what happened, but are still grappling with what the current environment means for each of us individually and collectively for our organizations, professions, and fields.
