Convening Expert Panels and Stakeholders

NORC offers extensive expertise in convening formal and informal committees for our clients. We are able to build on our established relationships to carefully select panelists who represent a broad range of perspectives and expertise in a broad range of areas, including senior federal and state officials and industry and academic experts. We design meetings specifically to serve the needs of our clients and other attendees to engage the participants about the key research topics, the methods used to address each topic, the identification of policy approaches and the key findings from each project. NORC prepares background materials to ensure all participants have a common understanding of each project and the NORC team is extremely skilled in presenting findings and conducting discussions in a fashion that is both efficient and maximally useful to our clients.
