Learning from the extraordinary impact of COVID-19 on our sector and preparing for wave two.

We want to hear from you. What are you most proud of in how you and your organization are responding to COVID-19? What could be done better or differently? What worries you most about a second wave? Do you feel prepared for the second wave? How are you coping? 

This is a short and confidential survey asking those very questions. Your responses will remain anonymous and we'll use the findings from this summary to make recommendations as we prepare collectively for wave two.

Thank you so much and take good care.

Sheila Peck, CCANS President
