I am excited to introduce the Fall edition of the 2014 NAN Bulletin which concentrates on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. There is little debate that life expectancy has increased and "The graying of America" has resulted in a growing number of individuals with MCI and dementia. As experts in brain-behavior relationships, neuropsychologists can significantly contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of these individuals as well as research in this area. In this edition, an attempt was made to address a variety of issues which can impact our clinical decision-making and provide thought for future research. In addition, our student section focuses on NAN's Women in Leadership (WIL) Committee, which I encourage our readership to support and promote.
