NEXT TREASURER TRAINING

INVITE FROM PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE OF CALIFORNIA

The Public Policy Institute of California, in collaboration with the California Community Foundation and the University of Southern California, is currently planning a PPIC Statewide Survey: Special Survey of Los Angeles County to be released this spring. This survey will be the first of three annual large-scale public opinion surveys of the Los Angeles County adult population. We would appreciate your input into this new survey series. In particular, we welcome your thoughts about the major issues facing the county and its residents.

To facilitate your feedback, we would like to invite you to a meeting at USC on Tuesday, February 11, 2003, to discuss the content of the survey. The meeting will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the Dean's conference room at the USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development.

Please RSVP for the meeting by Friday, February 7th to survey@ppic.org or Eliana Kaimowitz at 415 / 291-4488.

If you cannot attend the meeting on February 11th, please send us your comments by e-mail to survey@ppic.org.
