Affinity Group Survey

Greetings!

YWCA USA is interested in offering local associations the most beneficial opportunities possible. Affinity Groups have been available over the past 3 – 4 years to provide opportunities for you to engage with one another on important topics. At this time, we want to assess the value of these Affinity Groups to you. 

You have received this request to offer your views about Affinity Groups because records show that you have registered for at least one group. Please share your thoughts by responding to this brief survey.

Please know that your responses are anonymous and cannot be traced to you.
