Foothills Conservancy : Stakeholder Engagement Survey

Foothills would like your help and advice. We are embarking on our next strategic planning process, which will help guide our work in the coming years. Strategic plans have long provided the essential roadmap to the pursuit of our mission of “protecting land and water for the benefit of people and all living things” Our annual work plans, budgets, and fundraising priorities are all based upon them.

Our first step is to hear the ideas, perceptions, and concerns of the organizations, communities, and people we work with. As part of this input phase, we invite you to participate in this survey. You will be asked a series of questions related to the context we are working in, how we should be addressing issues related to the region, your community, and more. This survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete.

Your input is a valuable part of our strategic planning process, and we appreciate your time and effort. Thank you!
