2012 - Project Highlights |
Honoring Our Public Servants. Connecting Citizens with Their Government.
May 6–12, 2012
Celebrated the first week of May since 1985, Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) is time set aside to honor the men and women who serve our nation as federal, state, county and local government employees and ensure that our government is the best in the world.
This week is designated by Congress as Public Service Recognition Week and the Faculty and Staff at Miami University's Center for Public Management and Regional Affairs wanted to thank all public sector employees for all that you do in service for all our local communities and our nation. Now more than ever, you and your colleagues are being asked to do more with less while tackling increasingly complex issues for our nation. Miami's CPMRA values your partnership and thank you for all that you do.

Hanover Township Survey Research
Hanover Township officials have asked the Center to develop and administer a survey of general attitudes regarding the quality of life as well as growth and development in Hanover Township. In addition the survey will collect residents’ attitudes concerning their assessment of township services including, street and road conditions, public safety, and parks and recreation facilities. Identifying preferences and interests of residents will assist Township officials with long-term planning efforts for the Township. This project is coordinated with an undergraduate class (POL 307 Public Opinion Lab).
