Acknowledgements
A great many people contributed to the creation and subsequent revisions of Whole Measures. The Trust for Public Land has been visionary and instrumental in initiating this process and we are grateful to them for allowing this document to be so widely shared and greatly evolved. Knowing that it would not be possible to list all those who have given of their time, energy and ideas, we would like to at least acknowledge a number of colleagues who were part of the early effort.

We would like to offer a special thanks to the following group of individuals who have worked with us as co-authors and reviewers of version 5.0 of Whole Measures (then called "Measures of Health"). Many of the improvements in this version can be attributed to their thoughtful review and feedback.

Whole Measures is a stronger tool as a result of the encouragement, support and contributions of these and many others. Thank you all.
