We are asking you the directors, staff, trustees, and agency administrators for input and direction as we re-envision a new future. This survey provides a key opportunity for the Southern System Planning Panel to learn what is important to you. Your responses to the survey will directly impact the Strategic Plan that is being developed. The survey results will be posted to Cooperation Today (www.cooperationtoday.org) and will inform the Planning Panel members as they develop of a service program.
Please complete this survey by November 1, 2010. Your help and thoughtful comments are invaluable to us.
Please share this survey widely. We want as many people as possible to complete this. It will take you approximately 10 minutes of your valuable time but we need your help. Thank you.
