RRDFP Member Engagement Survey

Division members approved our first Strategic Plan in September of 2019. As we move into the final year of implementation, consultants Adam King from BeThink Solutions and Dr. Ron Lindstrom were engaged to help collect data on progress with the five strategic priorities.
