This report on the directed nature of public health work was created
through interations with scores of fellow travelers. Like all worthy
voyages, its rewards lay in the unforeseen turns and surprising vistas
found along the way. Several people, in particular, must be mentioned by
name, for without their guidance this exploration might have stalled in
one or more dead ends. Nainoa Thompson provided a compelling example of
what it means to be both a student and teacher of navigation; Jack Homer
masterfully managed to explain a simple way of learning about
complexity; Dick Jackson was quick to go public with big ideas; Glenda
Eoyang served as a consistently sensitive and astute sounding board;
Nicole Lezin contributed her talents for listening, organizing, and
writing; Joanna Davidson was a boundless source of inspiration; and
Jasper Milstein opened new horizons just by arriving.
In addition, Union Institute & University committee members–Elizabeth
Minnich, Michael Quinn Patton, Marshall Kreuter, Kate MacQueen, Harry
Boyte, Ruth Ann Bramson, Don Klein, and Alan Barstow–helped with an
unswerving combination of patient faith and pressing enthusiasm.
Finally, many friends and colleagues at the CDC not only saw value in
this inquiry, but also provided the freedom to pursue it.
