Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Survey

Member Survey

Thank you for sharing your concerns and experiences with STLHE through this member survey—one of three possible ways to let us know your thoughts. You can also be in touch with us via the "Share Your Story” page or by taking part in a small focus group. You can participate in any one or all of these options.



Click on any of the above links now if you would like to participate in "Share Your Story" or a focus group instead of completing this survey. Otherwise, you will be provided with these webpage links again at the end of this survey.

This survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Your responses are completely anonymous. You can skip any question you would like and exit at any time by clicking the 'EXIT' button in the upper-right corner.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Bre-Anna Owusu at breannaroseking@gmail.com
