GIVE US YOUR OPINION
At our District Annual Day,
we’re going to give you an opportunity to “give us your opinion”
as it relates to many aspects of UMW. We want to hear from our very important
membership about what parts of UMW you like and dislike. Here is your
chance to be heard!
Please be sure to pick up a quick survey at the registration table and answer it sometime during the meeting. You can sign your name or not – whatever you prefer. There will be a box at the registration table to leave your completed survey in as you leave. We will compile the data and make plans to discuss the results/suggestions in (or before) the next General Gathering.
We think it’s important to hear from you so that we can do a better job of fulfilling the needs and wants of our members. So please take a few minutes to give us your opinion.
Your District Membership Nurture Coordinator, Sandy Clark
