    We thank Ray Lorion, editor of the Journal of Community Psychology, and Michael Blank, associate editor, for their full encouragement and support to this special issue from its inception. We thank our co-presenters in the 2009 SCRA Biennial symposium, We've Come a Long Way, Baby…But Are We There Yet?, whose stories were the catalyst for this special issue, including Susan Wolfe, Gloria Levin, and Judith Primavera. We also thank all of the active members of the SCRA Women's Committee, who continue to hold a visible presence in community psychology and encourage the co-creation and recreation of feminist community psychology. The reviewers were truly the backbone of this special issue. Our appreciation and thanks go to each of them: Meg Bond, Anne Brodsky, Ronelle Carolissen, Sarah Cook, Marci Culley, Khanh Dinh, Ruth Fleury-Steiner, Sabine French, Heather Gridley, Bianca Guzman, Ivy Ho, Kelly Kinnison, Colleen Loomis, Alicia Lucksted, Brinton Lykes, Eric Mankowski, Katherine (Katie) McDonald, Robin Miller, Rebekah Pratt, Stephanie Reich, Chiara Sabina, Michele Schlehofer, Irma Serrano-Garcia, Sylvie Taylor, Jo Tyler, Elizabeth Thomas, Sharon Wasco, Susan Wolfe, and a few reviewers who prefer to remain anonymous.
