Attendance at the DC Food Council meetings have been declining over the past few months. Any initiative needs to be worth its members time and effort to ensure the initiative is fulfilling and meets the needs of an individual. It has been suggested that DCHD create a mechanism to measure the value of this initiative. Please complete the following survey by close of day on Friday November 18th. Survey results and responses will be posted anonymously on Google Docs by Monday November 28th. Future planning for this initiative will be based on these survey findings.
