This table lists the assignments as best as we’ve been able to determine for the 2016 guide. If you see something that is incorrect, please contact Andy Wyenandt. We will be building on these assignments for the 2017 guide. Note that going forward, editor/reviewers will be expected to include only information that is applicable to the Mid-Atlantic region since the guide is now a unified publication. In addition, please submit the name and email of anyone designated as a “contact” so that person can be included in correspondence. Names in bold-italics represent corrected information.
