NYS Council Member Agency Survey

The NYS Council has devised a survey requesting specific information from our members that we believe will enhance the data and information we have at our disposal to support our SFY 25 State Budget and Legislative requests.  Your participation is very important to this process.  

If you have questions regarding any of the questions (below) please contact Cindy Levernois at: cindy@nyscouncil.org or Lauri Cole at: lauri@nyscouncil.org.

We appreciate your participation and we look forward to receiving your responses by close of business on September 29.  

Thank you!!
