Transgender Equity Council Feedback

The Transgender Equity Council (TEC) advises the Mayor and City Council on policy. We ask for community feedback to ensure our work reflects community needs.

Only TEC members/subcommittee attendees and TEC staff will see survey responses; any publicly shared data will be anonymous. All questions on this survey are optional; we only ask demographics to get a sense of who we're reaching and therefore whose perspectives are informing our responses.
