Key Community Stakeholder Survey
Thank you so much to all of you who participated in our external stakeholder interviews. This is a major component of our communication planning process. Your input is extremely important to us.
At the Board retreat (January 27thand 28th, 2012) our Board and leadership team will be reviewing the themes and determining how to address the issues and opportunities raised through the survey.
