In a world of shrinking budgets and economic uncertainty, school districts, community colleges and local governments are finding themselves struggling to stay afloat. Their “customers” turn to them more frequently in expectation of public services that the state and federal governments are no longer adequately funding. As a result, local officials are forced to implement layoffs, program cuts and other difficult measures in order to balance the budget.

TBWB Strategies specializes in helping public agencies understand and communicate with the community they serve. Public policy that is in tune with the entire community is, indeed, better public policy. It is also more likely to be ratified by voters whose support is essential for public finance measures that need ballot box approval.

At TBWB Strategies, we listen closely to our clients’ funding needs and what they want to accomplish.

We help our clients identify the “stakeholders” in their local community who also need to be heard.

At TBWB Strategies, we know from experience that professional research is critical to good decision-making.

Sound research, such as polling or focus groups, helps public officials understand how residents and voters see their local government and what types of services they are willing to pay to support.

We have worked with many of the top research firms in the field. As consultant to your agency, we will work with you to select a research firm that is the best fit for the needs and demands of your project.
