| Abstract: |
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) contracted with the Social Research Laboratory (SRL) at Northern Arizona University, through the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit to conduct a survey of partners involved in current BLM assistance agreements. The primary goal of the survey was to assess the health, satisfaction and success of relationships between BLM and current partners, and to obtain a range of perspectives and experiences with partnerships. The results of the telephone survey provide a satisfaction rating that measures partnership effectiveness, and open-ended qualitative feedback was used to create a more in-depth picture of what constitutes and contributes to partnership effectiveness. These survey results identify areas and opportunities for improving the partnering process. |
