His firm is recognized as the leading social science research firm in the nation that works in the natural resources arena.

I would just like to take this quick opportunity to thank you and your staff on the tremendous work you recently completed for the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. I believe wildlife management decisions should be based on solid biological data; however, I also believe that we must use essential human dimensions work and public opinion to come up with the best management strategy.

The report that Responsive Management supplied us with was very comprehensive, and the cross-tabulations supplied additional insight that may have otherwise gone undetected. The additional analysis that you and your staff did was above and beyond the call of duty and demonstrated the kind of expertise and caring attitude that your staff has about our natural resources. It also helped to demonstrate that while this survey was conducted on all residents of West Virginia, your staff was able to identify our target audience very effectively and supplied us with the best possible data to make management recommendations.

I must say, in my nearly 50 years of working in fish and game, Responsive Management, as a group, has the best “corporate culture” I’ve ever seen for collaboration skills and wanting to do good work.

In addition to an impeccable research record with numerous wildlife management agencies, including our own, Responsive Management has a history of thorough data collection and analysis, the ability to maintain a research schedule and budget, as well as the ability to consistently produce legally and statistically defensible research documents.

Responsive Management provided extraordinary services to my research project, which involved a large-scale telephone survey about cultural diversity and attitudes toward marine animals in Los Angeles. This was a challenging project, involving a lengthy survey that needed to be translated into several languages, and required a complex sampling strategy. Mark provided invaluable guidance in refining my survey instrument, structuring the sampling design, and working out the survey’s logistics. And his friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff worked closely with me before, during and after the survey was completed. I would recommend Responsive Management to anyone planning a survey or focus group about wildlife and wildlife management.

I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks for your outstanding work… This is a very fine report that has already proven helpful in discussions about funding and marketing issues with my staff and the Administration. I know that it will prove to be of similar value in upcoming discussions with external constituents and legislators.

This is the third time that my Department has contracted for your services, and I am pleased to have been personally involved in each survey. I continue to be impressed by your candid and thoughtful input, personalized approach to customer needs, and professional approach to survey design, implementation, and reporting. In sum, you do great work that results in a product with high outreach and advocacy value.
