The Crete Strategic Welcoming Committee is collecting feedback from community members to continue to be a Community in Motion. The Welcoming Committee’s mission is to support and foster a welcoming city for everyone who calls Crete home. 

A summary of the survey results may be shared with the public. The Welcoming Strategic Planning Committee members (which includes approximately a group of 20 community members, city employees, teachers, and school staff) will have access to the individual and collective survey results and will use the results to inform the strategic planning process.

Please refrain from including personally identifiable information (no names, no addresses, etc.) in your survey responses to ensure that the individual survey results are anonymous (meaning not identifiable by name or personally recognizable responses).
