The NASP-III survey seeks information from public and nonprofit managers including their career histories, hiring practices and organizational environment. NASP-III expands beyond a single state, surveying managers in Georgia and Illinois, but does not have a national focus. Unlike NASP-II, which focused on a single functional agency (health and human services), the NASP-III sample includes managers from agencies and organizations of numerous functions.
