Introduction

Thank you for participating in AMCHP's ongoing pre-planning associated with its 2015 Strategic Planning process in an effort to fully engage the AMCHP membership across all levels of the organization.

We continue to actively listen to our members as they respond to a series of questions, discussion opportunities, inquiries and surveys via virtual and in person mechanisms.

This second phase of the strategic engagement process is focused on a simple survey effort to engage you about understanding our past goals and objectives.

The survey should take you less than ten minutes to complete.

Thanks in advance for your continued interest in providing feedback.

Warm regards,

Lori Freeman
CEO
