Dear Colleagues, In preparation to "Look Back and Move Forward" the Board would like to get feedback from you as to the strategic plan. We are in the middle of our current strategic plan that runs from 2009 to 2011. It is the perfect time for us to reflect on our progress and to ask for everyone to play an active role in the realization of the plan. Please take the time to access the link at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/799CCWS and thoughtfully answer the questions in bold; your response is needed no later than Monday, October 11th . If you are interested in taking on a greater role in the fulfillment of any of our objectives please also let us know that. Thank you for time and comments. This will help all of us to continue to make steps towards the goals of our strategic plan.
