pg. 80 Appendix Survey Methodology and Results – cont’d Respondents also represented a wide range of issues: Children/Youth 42% Health 40% Education 37% Environment 31% Social Justice 21% Poverty 19% Housing 18% Employment 11% Civil Rights 10% Women's Rights 9% Humanitarian Aid 6% Gay & Lesbian Rights 6% Reproductive Rights 4% Election Reform 3% Gun Control 1% Other 3% Total percentage exceeds 100 since respondents were asked to check all categories that applied to their work. We were also pleased to note that these respondents were very familiar with presentations from both sides of the podium: 76% attended presentations once a month or more, and approximately half gave a presentation just as frequently. Since respondents to this survey were self-selecting, we cannot claim that our results are a scientifically accurate sampling of the sector. Given the sheer volume of responses, however, along with a reasonably even geographic distribution and wide coverage of issue areas, we believe the results that follow offer valuable insights regarding what works, what doesn’t, and why in public interest presentations.
