Attention all FREP members, partners and collaborators...

Over the past six months the FREP Executive Committee has been engaging in a visioning process to guide our next steps as an organization. In order to begin to bring your voices into this important conversation, we ask that you take this brief survey (15 minutes to complete). Please feel free to share the link and encourage participation by any potential stakeholders.
