Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana recently won three national awards from the Governmental Research Association for its work on political issues, government spending and ethics.
"This national recognition for the high quality of our research is an honor to be shared not only by the entire PAR staff but also by our more than 3,000 individual and corporate members statewide," said Jim Brandt, PAR president.
The awards were presented during the association's annual conference last week in Boston.
