FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The National Agricultural Law Center’s national stakeholder survey is closing soon — but there is still time for those in the ag community to let their voices be heard.
“The NALC is a stakeholder-driven institution, and this survey is a part of that effort,” said NALC Director Harrison Pittman.
Established in 1987 by Congress, the NALC is the nation’s leading source of agricultural and food law research and information. A unit of the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, the NALC is a stakeholder-driven institution, disseminating its research-based work through digital resources, webinars, presentations, conferences, direct conversations and more.
The NALC’s stakeholder survey, which includes 15 questions and takes roughly 10 minutes to complete, will be used to chart the center’s path forward and shape how it continues to fulfill its mission. It gauges participants’ familiarity with NALC, their interactions with the center’s website, and topics of interest. The survey is anonymous and available online.
Pittman wants to ensure the survey reaches as many people as possible before its closing date of April 30.
“The goal is to have input from as broad a range of stakeholders are reasonably possible,” he said. “Farmers, producers, trade association leaders, legislative staffers, attorneys, students, universities and many more — we’re here to serve them as best we can and leverage resources in as wise a manner as possible.”
Pittman said he appreciates those who have participated in the survey so far.
“We’ve gotten quite a lot of feedback and want everyone to know the deadline is coming up,” he said.
