Clients

The SRO receives minimal funding from the University for its operation. This means our existence depends upon money derived from outside grants and contracts. As such, we must charge for our services.

At the same time, the SRO is located on the UIS campus, one which has a strong tradition emphasizing public affairs. It is also located in the primary center at UIS devoted to public affairs activities, the Center for State Policy and Leadership. Thus, our goal is to offer quality services at a reasonable cost, specializing in services to state and local government entities and to non-profit organizations.

We are most appreciative of the work our clients have given us. A list of SRO clients over the past 20 years include the following. Current clients are noted by an *.
