Needs Assessment Survey

Participant Information

Thank you for participating in the IEC's Needs Assessment Survey. The IEC is in the process of developing several grant proposals and the results from this survey will assist us in ensuring that we are addressing key issues as identified by our membership. In addition, results will provide general guidance for future IEC programs. We appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey, as well as encouraging your colleagues to do the same.
