Hello members of the Partnership for a Healthy Texas!
 
Thank you for taking the opportunity to fill out this survey to start the process of identifying policy priorities for the 2023 Legislative session. This survey is meant to jumpstart our brainstorming discussions at the Full Membership meeting and provide an avenue for those who cannot attend to share their ideas and feedback. This is not a survey on the Partnership’s final policy priorities for session, but rather a brainstorming opportunity.
 
After the meeting on May 26th, we will send another survey with suggestions synthesized from the meeting for your feedback. The results of that survey will be used by the Steering Committee to guide the creation of 3 to 5 policy priorities that we hope will make the biggest impact on obesity in Texas while also being politically viable.
 
Thank you for your time and attention in filling this out!
