ROOST 2017 CGA Workgroup Feedback

You may receive the invite to this survey through multiple organizations. Please only complete one survey.

The Adirondack Common Ground Alliance (CGA) is a diverse network of dedicated people who focus on addressing issues that affect the whole Adirondack Park: its communities, institutions, people and environment. Stakeholder citizens come together to foster communication, seek collaborative solutions, set the stage for constructive action, develop shared vision and strategies and communicate with one voice.

You are a key to our work and its success. In preparation for the July 11, 2017 Common Ground Forum in Old Forge, we need your input on the following topics for breakout sessions. This year, the breakout sessions will be highly focused, designed to conclude with actionable next steps to share and move forward with elected officials and other groups. We hope specific strategies will be enacted out of the 2017 Forum.
