PPA Is Here for You
During the more than 30 years Public Policy Associates has been in business, our organization has seen a lot. We have steered projects and helped our clients through good times and those that were difficult. From government shutdown threats to funding cuts to global uncertainty, our clients have seen us as a steady hand in an unsteady world.
We like to see ourselves as a trusted voice of reason—a calming compass for creating “Better Public Policy for a Better World.” Our recommendations, conclusions, and advice are built out of thorough, rigorous research, but also the practice of seeing the world where it is at the moment and capturing the aspirations of those who want to see where it can go.
“Our work at Public Policy Associates is built on the principle that the toughest issues our world faces require a collaborative, cross-partisan approach,” says Dan Quinn, PPA’s Chief Strategy Officer. “By partnering with our clients and engaging diverse stakeholders across Michigan, we can translate complex data into actionable public policy solutions that build a better future for all Michiganders.”
As we move forward into the 2026 fiscal year, we hope you will look to us as a secure partner, a trustworthy, knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive source for decision making.
In this month’s eNews, we first share a new press release announcing an important step in our work with MIHEART, a collaborative we facilitate for the Michigan College Access Network. There is also a new opportunity to join our team. Finally, we have a spotlight on our newest Rackham intern.
