Other projects recently awarded to Responsive Management include an evaluation of boater education programs nationwide for the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, an evaluation of the National Archery in the Schools Program, surveys to better understand public opinion on hunting in California and Washington state, and extended contracts for performing multiple public opinion and attitude surveys on natural resources and outdoor recreation issues for the states of Arizona and Washington. |
