Member's Survey Results

District leadership reached out to the members with a few questions with a short survey to give us a better understanding of what members preferences are at this time with regards to in person events. 62 members filled the survey, 72% of which showed preference of attending the Spring Conference in May online. This provided a direction for leadership and we will be hosting the Spring Conference online. Thank you to all those who responded to our survey.
