My name is Paul Battle, and I am a doctoral student in the counseling program at Oakland University. I am requesting your permission to invite the members of your association to participate in my study by completing an online survey. My dissertation is titled Identity management strategies in the workplace: An analysis of quantitative identity measures for le***an, gay, and bisexual individuals. I am conducting a study on the work experiences of le***an, gay and bisexual individuals. I hope that learning more about the work experiences of le***an, gay and bisexual individuals will help improve work experiences and counseling education.

I am not requesting email addresses, phone numbers, or mailing addresses or personal information about the members of your association. Instead, I would like you to email my letter of invitation to complete the survey, on my behalf to your members. This also could be posted on your website or within your social network sites. The survey does not collect any personal information. The participants will be anonymous.
The following statement could be posted online:

Hello GALLOP members and friends! It's been a quiet Summer, but Fall is fast approaching. I'd really enjoy seeing increased activity on our part, but I need suggestions. What sorts of things would get you to participate? Would anyone like to take the lead on planning an event? I'm all ears!
