2016 Policy Development Survey
CFPA is launching its 2016 policy development process by asking for your input! We are conducting an online survey to gather feedback and identify challenges facing Californians with regards to their health, well-being, and access to nutritious, affordable food. The survey results will inform CFPA's internal policy development process and help guide our 2016 policy priorities, which may include legislation, research, or administrative advocacy, among other strategies.
 
The survey should take about 15-20 minutes of your time. The survey questions are organized by topic area so you can easily provide feedback only on the topics most relevant to your experience and work. Your answers will be kept anonymous, unless you provide contact information for additional follow-up.

We will be  collecting responses until 5pm on Friday, September 11. All respondents will automatically be entered into a drawing to win a $100 gift card.
