When you submit a card, who actually does the grading?

After the lambasting I got for the title of my first thread, I've tried to be more circumspect with the title of this one....
My question is:
When you submit an item to PSA, SGC, GAI, BVG, BGS, etc., who actually does the grading and what are their qualifications? Are the graders these companies hire well-known experts or just people off the street? Do they receive any training?
I think people would have a lot more confidence in grading companies as a whole if they knew who was actually grading their cards.

When you click on that link, you then have to chose either Cable/DSL, or Dial-up. Hope that helps

The video says absolutely nothing about the qualification of the graders.

Maybe if PSA wants to increase membership, they can make the free gift a calendar of the graders.
<< <i>Haha, Alfonz, I was thinking the same thing...a 12 month calendar featuring only her. She could even be wearing a really nice '52 Mantle or something. >>
Reggie Bush for the south region.
And Dick and Tom Van Arsdale (they are twins) for the top region.
