mission is pursued through the provision of policy analysis, applied
research, technical assistance, leadership development, survey
research, consultation, and training for state and local officials,
community leaders, as well as members of the general public. The Center's 55 member staff
includes experts in public policy and management, leadership,
demographics, economics and finance, politics, organizational
development, survey research, and workforce issues. The staff members,
