Why Join PAR?
PAR members not only get the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping
make Louisiana a better place to live, work and do business, but they
also receive all PAR publications and participate in other PAR-sponsored
activities such as the organization's annual conference, which is usually
devoted to the "hot topic" of the day.
To a substantial degree, support of PAR has
always represented an act of faith on the part of a contributor--faith
that at some point government in Louisiana will be more accountable, more
efficient and more responsive to its citizens because of the research
and information provided by an organization like PAR. That
faith has been rewarded time and again, as PAR recommendations
have been implemented. Over the years PAR's recommendations have saved
taxpayers millions of dollars.
PAR has traditionally not accepted any government funding in an effort
to maintain its independence. Therefore, it is essential that PAR continue
to receive the support of citizens interested in improving Louisiana government
and moving Louisiana forward.
