APPAM Impact Survey Results

Thank you for your interest in the Impact Survey APPAM administered last month. The survey, which was open for members and non-members for about two weeks in mid-June, was meant to help us learn how recent federal government cuts and changes have affected our members and the field and what future programming might be most helpful. We continue to explore options, so please keep sending your ideas to us.

Impact Survey for the Public Policy Field

We’ve been trying to get a sense of how widespread the federal government changes via DOGE and budget cuts have been and continue to be for our members and the field. We hope this survey will allow us one data point, both to help us get a sense of how widely our field is being affected and to help with future programming.
