FELLOWS ALUMNI SURVEY 2016: CLASS COMPETITION
The annual Fellows Alumni Survey provides LCLD with crucial data about the impact our programs have on the lives and careers of the Fellows. It's especially important for LCLD to receive data on all classes – so we're offering a reward to the liaisons whose class has the highest response rate! Last year, the class of 2014 had the highest response rate. As of July 18, the class of 2015 was in the lead with 24 percent, and the class of 2014 was in second place with 15 percent.
All Fellows Alumni (classes 2011 through 2015) should have received an email from Lori Lorenzo with a link to the 2016 survey. If you didn't receive it or need assistance, email Caitlin Puffenberger. The survey deadline is August 5, 2016.
