Experts

Since 1999, the White House Transition Project has combined the efforts of talented scholars to smooth out the American presidential transition. They have assisted presidential campaigns, presidents-elect, and new administrations.

Having relied on a range of experts to produce its two institutional series, the White House Transition Project now makes available the registry of those experts.
