We want to thank our DAMA-DMBOK Guide Planning Committee for the almost weekly meetings for months on logistics and progress review and coordination. The core committee of Deborah Henderson, Mark Mosley, Michael Brackett, Eva Smith, Susan Earley and Ingrid Hunt, supported by DAMA Administration Kathy Hadzibajric, really brought the Guide to fruition through many, many personal, committed, volunteer hours.
Thanks, also, to the primary contributors who took the Framework vision and, within the tightly defined format and on a volunteer basis, were able to deliver the wonderful chapter material in-time and on-schedule, for which we are truly grateful.
We particularly wish to thank Mark Mosley for his sound theory, personal fortitude, and endless hours spent, and Michael Brackett for his sound advice, production, and manuscript miracle. Special thanks to John Zachman, Len Silverston and Ben Hu, our DAMA Advisors, for their enthusiasm.
Finally, we want to recognize the families of all the volunteers on this project, who sacrificed personal time with loved ones involved in this second non-paying job.

----------
The DAMA-DMBOK Guide resulted from the contributions of many DAMA members. Without the contribution of these people, the DAMA-DMBOK Guide would not have been possible. The profession owes a great deal of gratitude to these DAMA members for their participation in a monumental piece of work.
DAMA International, the DAMA International Foundation, and the DAMA Chapter Presidents’ Council sponsored the DAMA-DMBOK Guide project. Their vision, insight, patience, and continued support lead to the establishment and continuation of this project.
Deborah Henderson, President of the DAMA Foundation and VP of Educational Services for DAMA International, is the Project Sponsor for the DAMA-DMBOK Guide. It was her idea from the beginning and she has been a dedicated project sponsor through the entire project. Publication of this document is a result of her unwavering vision, enthusiasm, confidence, and support.
Four people contributed substantial time and effort pulling all aspects of development, review, and production of the DAMA-DMBOK Guide together.

The DAMA-DMBOK Guide Planning Committee handled the vast multitude of details necessary to bring the manuscript to publication. Many of these details were behind the scenes, but were critical for production of the DAMA-DMBOK Guide. Without their constant, daily, participation, the DAMA-DMBOK Guide would not exist today.
