2017 CMRPC Shared Services General Survey

Introduction

CMRPC is surveying Boards of Selectmen, Town Managers, Town Administrators, Executive Secretaries, and community leaders to gauge interest and to assess each town's preferences and/or opportunities for shared services or joint procurement of goods and services. The last version of this survey helped us encourage partnerships and efficiencies across the region. Updated responses will be crucial to our success in the coming months.

There are many successful models on a wide spectrum of goods and services that might be shared or jointly procured. We believe there is tremendous value in collaborative problem solving.

The survey is short. Please do what you can to complete it by Monday April 3rd at 5pm.
