Safely Making CA Survey for Input on the Exchange

CMTA and the Intel Foundation would like to understand how to grow the Safely Making CA (SafelyMakingCA.org) online exchange so it better serves both the California manufacturing community and the many California industry sectors as well. Keeping the state's economy open and safe is our primary goal. We started with a simple directory site and, with the Intel Foundation's help over the next six months, we intend to take the answers to this 16-question, five-minute survey and put them into action where we can. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
