STEM Strategic Planning Surveys

Between now and Feb 15, please consider answering one or more of four Strategic Planning Surveys which STEM will sent by email to various groups of existing STEM stakeholders and STEM constituency. The candid, anonymous information you provide will help the STEM Board better plan for the future. The Board will review initial survey results at our scheduled March 2011 Board Meeting, with expectation of producing and formally adopting a Strategic Plan at the Board’s scheduled June 2011 meeting.

If we contact you by email and ask you to participate, please prayerfully consider doing so! Thank you!
