This is a comprehensive, up-dated directory of professional personnel of state higher education governing or coordinating agencies and state commissions for the administration of certain federal programs relating to higher education. The directory, compiled from questionnaires, originated from a need expressed by many persons in the field for names and positions of persons performing functions similar to their own in other agencies. The following information is provided by state: 1) title of agency; 2) name, title, and address of chief staff officers; and 3) names, titles, and functions of staff personnel. The same information is given for similar governing and coordinating groups in the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, and for the New England Board of Higher Education, Southern Regional Education Board, and Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education. No attempt is made to classify or describe the coordinating organizations as to control and function with relation to institutions of higher education, except where a brief note of explanation was made by a respondent. Copies are available from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, 914 Capitol Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. (DS)
