Acknowledgments
The Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) site in the Enhanced Services for the Hard-to-Employ Demonstration and Evaluation Project has received strong support from CEO administrators and staff and from officials in several New York State agencies. While many people have worked hard to support the study, we owe special thanks to the following individuals.
At CEO, Executive Director Mindy Tarlow, Chief Operating Officer Brad Dudding, and Chief Program Officer Tani Mills have steadfastly supported the study and have given generously of their time. Special thanks to Nigel Pieters for providing program participation data and for helping to set up the complex random assignment database. Thanks also to Mary Bedeau, Minerva Ortiz, Wanda Andujar, Eddie Bryant, Hilma Dilone, and Nathaniel Parham for their contributions. Suzanne Neusteter, formerly of CEO, played a key role in the study’s early stages.
We greatly appreciate the assistance and support of the following current and former staff from New York State agencies: Mary Ellen Flynn, Mike Buckman, Renee Konicki, Grant Valentine, and Robert Baultwright from the Division of Parole; Donna Hall, Dave Van Alstyne, and Steve Greenstein from the Division of Criminal Justice Services; and David Moses from the Department of Labor.
We thank David Butler, Charles Michalopoulos, Gordon Berlin, and Fred Doolittle of MDRC and Christy Visher and Shelli Rossman of the Urban Institute, who reviewed the paper and provided helpful suggestions. Other MDRC staff who played key roles include Sally Dai and Ihno Lee, who were the lead programmers; Joel Gordon and Galina Farberova, who managed the random assignment process; and Diane Singer, who provided administrative support. John Hutchins edited the paper, and David Sobel and Stephanie Cowell prepared it for publication.
