The American Geographical Society (AGS) needs your help in a
matter of vital importance. We are conducting a nationwide survey of
public attitudes toward geography and knowledge about geography. This is
our part in a major study funded by the National Science Foundation. This
“Roadmap” project is a joint effort of the National Geographic Society, the
National Council for Geographic Education, the Association of American
Geographers, and AGS. The overall topic is geographic literacy, a matter
of serious concern in America today. We invite all U. S. citizens and
long term residents of the United States to take the survey. The only
eligibility requirement is that you must be age 18 or older. The results
will help guide Federal and state policies regarding geographic education.
You may access the survey online by clicking the following

Geographic Knowledge and Values Survey (If the link does not take you

browser: http://webteach.ubalt.edu/UltimateSurvey/Surveys/TakeSurvey.aspx?s=F30154FD158241D39265B445E3BD5817
). Based on trial runs, we estimate the survey will take 12 to 18 minutes
of your time.
Please help us spread the word by forwarding this invitation
by every possible means: email, Internet, listserves, newspaper, radio,
TV, social networks (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.), and personal
appearances (clubs, local to national groups, public events, etc.).
