2024 Pre-Offsite Survey

As we approach the annual offsite, your feedback is important to help bring focus and perspective to the conversation. We’ll be tackling some of these questions within our sessions, but having some advance understanding of where each of you think we are with regard to them is very helpful for the facilitator.

Below you’ll also find some other thought-prompting questions to help frame your thinking as well as some pre-read materials

Your responses are completely anonymous. Thank you for taking a few minutes to participate.
