Welcome! I have two active surveys for you to consider taking. Thank you for your interest in my research, and your willingness to contribute to our knowledge about planning education and practice. The first survey is about planning practice generally. All practicing planners and all planning faculty and students, regardless of educational background, have experiences from, opinions about, and desires for their individual planning practice that will contribute valuable data to this line of research. The second survey is designed to gather data from individuals who have either strongly considered running for elected office, or who have, in fact, done so. Links to the surveys, which are hosted on SurveyMonkey, and descriptions of each, are below.
GENERAL PLANNING SURVEY
This survey has a total of 30 questions. This survey instrument is based on one used nearly 20 years ago, with some synthesis of the content from several others administered since then, but which were abridged versions of even earlier instruments. I believe it is important to use these longer surveys more frequently (annually, actually) so that we can gather and analyze more granular data to understand the impact planning education is having on practice and how well it is meeting the expectations and needs of each new cohort of planners. Realistically, it will take approx. 20 +/- minutes to complete.

PLANNER POLITICIAN SURVEY
This survey instrument is a pilot instrument both because I do not believe the questions on it have been asked of planners before, and because this is the first iteration of the instrument. At the end of the survey you will be asked if you are willing to participate in future surveys on this topic and if so, to provide your contact information. Realistically, it will take approx. 7-10 minutes to complete.
