Public Agency Members

Cities, counties, departments, boards, commissions, and institutions of higher education perform critical functions in the design and delivery of public services. PARCA is a proud partner with public agencies to formulate research questions, identify policy innovations, and access and interpret crucial data. These agencies are also important audiences for PARCA’s work.
