Dear Abt Colleagues,

As a part of Abt’s market research initiatives supporting development of Abt’s strategic plan for 2016 to 2021, we are looking at what private sector opportunities exist for Abt to undertake.  We are researching work that Abt has done in the past with the private sector but we also want to document what connections you and other Abt employees may have with the private sector.   

We have devised a very short survey for you to fill out to give us a sense of what people you have a relationship or connection with, and what company they work for. This is solely to gain knowledge of the connections Abt has within our staff.  We will maintain the confidentiality of your information – we don’t ask for people’s names or contacts – and will not contact the people or their companies that you mention.   We simply want to get a sense of our connections to the private sector.  If we should  wish to reach out to them one day, we will only do so through you after speaking with you first.

We greatly appreciate your help and insight! Please use the link below to access the survey which should take no more than five minutes of your time to complete.  Finally, please note, there is space for up to 5 companies/people connections, you do not need to fill in all 5. If you have more than 5 that you would like to include, please feel free to submit the first 5 and take the survey again to add more.

You can access the survey here:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DLL5FBM

Thanks for your time!

Best Regards,
