Client Comments

Just a short note to let you know that I received Illinois Residents’ Opinions and Attitudes Regarding Trapping, Fur Hunting and Furbearer Management. Excellent job! I’m excited at the opportunities that exist for developing a focused, efficient educational program based on the results of this survey.

Job well done. The past 6-month effort has done much to begin the resolution of the deer hunting controversy here in Maryland…

I appreciate your timeliness and professionalism in carrying out this job. Your presentation certainly helped us put our best foot forward.

Responsive Management provides the opportunity and mechanism for focusing our resource management efforts where they are both wanted and needed. The public opinion workshop clearly and concisely introduces attendees to the processes of understanding public expectations of the agency, problems to avoid in implementing the processes, and the benefits derived from addressing those expectations. The subsequent availability of Responsive Management staff to advise on specified public opinion projects is a bonus. I definitely recommend the Public Opinion Workshop to all public resource managers.

I was most pleased with the presentation Mark Damian Duda gave at our Utah Wildlife Fair. His presentation was timely, entertaining, professional and most importantly influential to the listening audience. I have found this to be consistent with everything that comes out of Responsive Management.

Mark Duda and his staff of professionals at Responsive Management recently conducted a national survey and completed a sizeable report for the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. The survey was multimodal and incorporated phone, electronic and postal mail. We needed to acquire contact information for license holders from 49 states and then contact a sample of them. Getting that contact information was a challenge, but thanks to the tireless effort of the RM staff, we were able to secure that integral information.

Our survey goal was about 5,000 participants nationally, but RM acquired a sample of nearly 7,000 participants, far exceeding our expectations. They also insured that our results would be valid by state, region and nationally as a result of their expertise in sample collection methodology. RM far exceeded our expectations on every facet of this project. The project was completed in about half the time we thought it might take, far ahead of schedule. We had several reviews of the report and each time we asked for a revision, everything was done correctly and quickly. The final report is packed with well-organized and thoroughly explained information. You just can’t beat that.

Mark, we want to thank you and your staff for your professionalism and your continued willingness to go the extra mile. It was a pleasure working with you!

Your abilities gave my staff confidence that the Responsive Management program is in good hands at the National level. We look forward to conducting another marketing workshop this fall with your assistance.

The Colorado Division of Wildlife has used the C.I.P., Change Module, and Marketing Module, and found them to be quality products that address real needs of our agency. We have also appreciated the eagerness to help shown by the Responsive Management staff. The Responsive Management Program has helped us to become substantially better prepared to deal with the changing attitudes, beliefs and opinions of our constituents.
