"DHM worked closely with our National AARP Research Team to develop the survey plan, including presentations of the results with media and with key thought leaders at major events. Specific to the project nine years ago, DHM provided training for advocates on the uses of the research as we prepared a legislative advocacy campaign (which was highly successful)."
