Heckman Equation July 2020

The Heckman Equation Advocate Survey

The Heckman Equation is a website and resource database that helps advocates like you make the case for increased investments in high-quality early childhood education - especially as policymakers look to re-open the economy and make difficult budget decisions.

We’re developing new resources for you and want to hear about how you currently interact with the Heckman Equation and what you'll need going forward in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To that end, please take a few minutes to complete the survey below. Survey closes Friday, August 14 at 5:00 PM ET. Please contact catherine@neimandcollaborative.com with any questions regarding this survey.
