The Graduate School of Political Management (GSPM) and the Strategic Public Relations master's program are delighted to announce the 2nd Annual National Survey of Government Communication and Public Affairs (GPA).
In 2023, we successfully conducted our inaugural study, which allowed us to gather input from professionals in government settings (Federal, State, and local) and those representing corporations, non-profit organizations, and associations in their interactions with the government.
This year's survey will focus on assessing the trust and effectiveness of government communications from the perspectives of government communication and public affairs professionals, as well as the general public.
Once again, we are proud to partner with Axios, Ragan Publishing, and the National Association of Government Communicators (NAGC) to ensure the success of this initiative administered by Schoen Cooperman Research, a top political and national polling firm.
