In my first year as Editor-in-Chief, I was mainly learning by doing, without a structure. The procedural aspect of the staff was unorganized. At the 2016 Fall MIPA Conference, however, I saw a presentation that suggested making staff manuals. That changed everything for me as an editor. Throughout the year, I compiled a 20 page staff manual, including everything I could think of, from job descriptions, days at a glance, AP Style and the phone numbers of everyone on staff. Creating this manual gave everyone on staff access to just about everything they needed to know, resolving our organizational roadblock.
