2016 FELLOWS ALUMNI SURVEY IS NOW OPEN

The annual Fellows Alumni Survey provides LCLD with crucial data about the impact our programs have on the lives and careers of the Fellows. Because we need your responses, we're offering several incentives to all those who complete the survey by July 29, 2016:
- One $100 Target gift card
- Five first-choice seats at 2017 Learning Experiences
- Five free LCLD Fellows Alumni Conference registrations for 2017
- $3 to Bryan Stevenson's Equal Justice Initiative for every survey completed
All Fellows Alumni (classes 2011 through 2015) should have received an email yesterday from Lori Lorenzo with a link to the 2016 survey. If you did not receive it, email Caitlin Puffenberger for assistance.
