The Beauty of SharePoint 2007 - New Column Type (Person or Group)
Have you ever used the lookup column in a list or library to point to the User Information list? Have you ever wished you could select an entire group of people or multiple individuals? Well in SharePoint 2007, there is a column type dedicated specifically to People. Which makes sense because aren't we the reason that SharePoint sites exist in the first place.
What is great about this column type is that you can point to all users, specific users within a SharePoint group, an entire group, or just a couple of specific users. No more crazy tricks to assign a document or list item to more than one person.

Hey Jim,
What you need to do first is enable the list to target audiences. This is where you select the checkbox in the list settings. Then once that has been done - for each record of a list you create, there will be a target audience value for you to specify where you can select the audience.
Hope this helps!
