Client Comments

I have known Mark Duda and Responsive Management for several years, but had the opportunity to work collaboratively with him and his staff over the past two years on a major project for the Commonwealth of Virginia. I have been impressed by the work of the whole Responsive Management organization. They produce good work and lots of it. Mark and his staff have done a lot to promote sound market-based research for natural resource management agencies.

I’m no fan of conferences, but I was intrigued by this session because it was billed as the best of its kind for fish and wildlife agencies. At the end of this four-day session, I can say that this is the best seminar I have ever attended.

Mark Duda, the Executive Director of Responsive Management, keynoted the interagency Watchable Wildlife Conference in Missoula, Montana. Mr. Duda is “in touch” with the needs of natural resource field personnel. His presentation reflected a combination of thorough preparation, technical field experience, and effective communication skills. He did an outstanding job of defining the scope and importance of the Watchable Wildlife Program.

Shazam! You did it again! The survey report you generated for the Commission’s Task Force on Outdoor Kansas is excellent. Even more impressive is the fact that you beat, by two days, the unreasonable deadline we gave you…

I was not at all surprised that you delivered the survey and report services as agreed (that is the type of work you’re known for), but I was impressed that the Responsive Management crew was able to get it done so quickly.

Thank you for meeting with my staff and me and reviewing the results of Georgia’s first Responsive Management survey… I especially appreciate the outstanding report and newsletter that you prepared and provided to us.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) would like to thank you [Mark Duda], Kira, and the rest of your staff for the revised Survey of Eastern Washington Upland Bird Hunters. The revised report was excellent and will help WDFW manage upland birds based on good science. We appreciate your taking all of our comments on the draft report into consideration. Comparing results based on place of residence will be very useful to WDFW. The revised figures were clear and distinct… We look forward to working with you again. Again, thank you for a detailed, final report.

On behalf of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, I want to commend you for your authorship of the excellent West Virginia Viewing Guide. Your professionalism and knowledge of wildlife and West Virginia served to make this a publication that we are not only proud of, but will enhance the image of our state. Because of your commitment to seeing that only the best would be acceptable for our state’s guide, we have a publication that I believe to be the best in the series.

We are all appreciative of your efforts in producing the West Virginia Viewing Guide. You can count on our enthusiastic support for all of your future endeavors.
