Sunshine State Survey

The Leadership Florida Sunshine State Survey has entered its third year – the critical time when the widest use of this longitudinal poll begins. As the only survey of its kind in Florida, our success rests heavily on our ability to provide statewide, targeted survey coverage to stakeholders and influence makers in Florida.

By capturing the opinions and needs of Floridians, the survey highlights timely issues for those who can make a difference—our state’s leaders and policymakers. But we need your help to identify the influential movers and shakers in your regions.

LF staff has prepared 10-15 minute targeted presentations on specific issues that “speak” to targeted audiences in your region and a 1 hour presentation that focuses on all the key findings.
