Most of our new business comes from satisfied client referrals or in response to our excellent reputation throughout the industry. Here’s what our clients say about NEA:
"One of our key objectives was to create a people-oriented project rather than a report that would sit on the shelf. NEA worked closely with tribal members and employees and displayed care and sensitivity to tribal cultural concerns to ensure that this happened. As a result, the Social and Economic Assessment project and survey data have been useful to people from all departments in identifying and quantifying community needs. The team appreciated the flexibility of NEA staff and the high-quality, professional product they provided to the CTGR. We look forward to further work with NEA."
Perri McDaniel, Cultural Resource Protection Specialist and
Member of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde"NEA utilized the agricultural economics skills of its staff to accurately measure the true impacts on the Friant Water Users Authority of declines in surface water supplies. The study was critical in demonstrating to legislators, regulators, and the general public the true value of our family farm-based agriculture to the entire San Joaquin Valley."
Richard Moss, Manager (at time of study),
Friant Water Users Authority"The NEA economists are at the top of the agricultural economics field. Their experience dealing with the concerns of irrigated agriculture, in particular, is unrivaled. Moreover, they back up their experience with timely, well-written materials and courtroom exhibits that are first class. They put in the time to develop well-prepared direct testimony and are invaluable to the attorney preparing to cross-examine the opposition’s experts."
Greg Wilkinson
Best, Best & Krieger
Riverside, California"We used the NEA studies extensively in our meetings with federal, state, and local legislators and the media and the general public, to demonstrate how critically the drought was affecting San Joaquin Valley agriculture and the entire regional economy. The reports are well written, easy to understand, and devoid of analytical mumbo-jumbo which makes many people skeptical of this type of evaluation. The reports continue to be requested and quoted because of their real-world focus and results."
Brent Graham, Manager,
Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District and Secretary,
San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Water Committee"NEA’s economic analyses are easy to understand, not a black box approach, and have withstood the test of time and peer review."
Lloyd Fryer, Policy and Administration Manager, Kern County Water Agency
