The list begins with the members of the Owensboro Citizens Committee on Education, and particularly the people who presided as chairs during the study period: Rodney Berry, Forrest Roberts, and Marianne Smith Edge. Their advice and suggestions were consistently helpful. The Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer distributed the community resident questionnaire as an insert in the paper and provided a cover story describing the study and the importance of completing and returning the questionnaire. The paper’s invaluable assistance was instrumental both to getting the questionnaire out in a timely manner and to the numerous responses that were sent back to this office – nearly 700 completed and usable questionnaires. The Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Corporation provided lists of local employers for use in the employer surveys.
