The American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR)

Founded in 1947, the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) is the leading association of public opinion and survey research professionals.  The AAPOR community includes producers and users of survey data from a variety of disciplines. Members span a range of interests including election polling, market research, statistics, research methodology, health related data collection and education.

SSRS Accepted as Charter Member of the AAPOR Transparency Initiative

Launched in October 2014, the Transparency Initiative seeks to encourage broader and more effective disclosure of research methods by all organizations, with the goal of promoting methodological disclosure.  By joining AAPOR in this initiative, SSRS is effectively increasing its adherence to AAPOR’s Code of Professional Ethics and Practices and promoting greater understanding of how methodology relates to overall survey quality.

The Insights Association

Officially launched in January, 2017, the Insights Association was formed through the merger of two organizations with long, respected histories of servicing the market research industry: CASRO and MRA. The result is a new, larger and more connected association with a unified, coordinated and higher profile voice, aligned in mission and message, and ultimately more effective at advancing the industry and profession in which we all share an abiding passion.  The Insights Association strives to effectively represent, advance, and grow the research profession and industry.
