Now is your chance to make your voice heard!

The Neighbors of the Northwest Branch is conducting a Communities Survey. The purpose of this survey is to determine the characteristics of the NNWB communities, their interests, and what activities they would like the NNWB to focus on in the future so resources can be allocated appropriately.

There are a total of 15 questions. This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. You can choose to have someone follow up with you if you'd like, or your answers can be anonymous. Either way, your input will help us promote activities that you want to do!

Complete the online survey by November 15 to help us determine where to best focus our resources. Thank you for participating in this survey!
