We identified a select group of elected officials in cities across the U.S.to participate. You were identified as one such leader, and we are very interested in your thoughts and perspectives on issues facing local governments. In the upcoming week, we will send you an e-mail invitation with a link to our survey. We would greatly appreciate your participation as your insights and experiences will help us better understand what makes local governments successful. We are extremely interested in your thoughts and perspectives on economic development, local responses to COVID-19, and your relationships with the municipal staff. Answering the questions should take you about 10-12 minutes. Your responses will be kept confidential and will be anonymized prior to analysis. The survey's findings may provide information helpful for understanding how successful local governments function and offer insights into how leaders think about important policy issues. Only aggregated statistics will be reported and at no point will individual respondents ever be identifiable. As a participant, we will send you an executive summary of our findings. If you have any questions about this research project,please feel free to call us at 602-496-0451, or send an e-mail to Dr. Justin M. Stritch at jstritch@asu.edu or Dr. Akheil Singla at agsingla(aasu.edu. Questions or concerns about your rights as a research participant should be directed to the Social Behavioral IRB at Arizona State University by e-mail at research.integrity@asu.edu or at 480-965-6788.
