The volume benefited from extensive contributions from NCSES staff. Joan S. Burrelli, Katherine Hale, and Mark C. Regets compiled and analyzed data for the volume. NCSES senior staff and survey managers assured availability of data under often stringent deadlines: Ronda K. Britt, Leslie Christovich, John Finamore, John E. Jankowski, Kelly H. Kang, Lynn Milan, Steven Proudfoot, Emilda B. Rivers, and Michael Yamaner. Jacqueline Durham assisted in acquiring data from outside sources. Stephen Cohen and Jock Black provided advice with statistical or data presentation issues.
In managing production of the volume, Rolf Lehming was assisted by Robert Bell, Nirmala Kannankutty, and Cheryl Roesel. Along with Rolf Lehming, Robert Bell engaged with authors in the development, review, and preparation of chapter content. Nirmala Kannankutty coordinated the schedule for producing the volume. Cheryl Roesel managed the performance of editorial, printing, and publication services. Lynda T. Carlson worked closely with the management team to ensure that the volume was successfully produced.
Robin Pentola was responsible for overall direction and management of the website. Tanya Gore assisted with the final review of the page composition and appendix tables, and Rajinder Raut prepared files for review and provided a technical review of the website. Web design and programming were performed by De Vo, Bridget Tuthill, Jason Shaffer, Moe Than, Makiko Fisher, Micah Horvat, and Richard Ashley of Compuware Corporation. Deborah Collins helped check and review data for Chapter 8 and compiled the list of Acronyms and Abbreviations. Overall editing of the report was performed by David B.
