Volunteer Interest Survey |
Friends, Members & Volunteers! Your Chapter and Group Membership committees are working hard on strengthening and expanding our Cumberland Chapter's capacity to do the environmental work in Kentucky that is so important to all of us.
This survey is for EVERYONE!! The information will help us network our experienced volunteers with friends and members who have interest in the same area of expertise and want to be more involved. Additionally, understanding the interests and make-up of our membership in Kentucky will help us better serve and engage our current family of members, grow and diversify our membership base, and strengthen our communication and mobilization capacities. Every member is important - we would love to hear from each of you. Thank you for helping us continue to grow in our capacity to nurture, protect, and otherwise be faithful stewards of Kentucky's environment. |
