Member Surveys

2023 Member Survey

As we grow in size and expand our scope, we recognize that it’s necessary, from time to time, to understand how the organization is meeting the needs of those involved. This survey is intended to gather information about three things:

  1. How you feel about the value of your SVTA membership
  2. How you feel about SVTA processes
  3. How you feel about tools used to accomplish SVTA work

Please take a few moments to fill out this survey as it will help us make membership better in the years to come.
