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. Respond by Friday, July 29, to be entered to win one of several great prizes.
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, and this year's competition is fierce:
| Fellows Class | Response Rate |
| 2015 | 42% |
| 2014 | 28% |
| 2013 | 23% |
| 2012 | 22% |
| 2011 | 18% |
If you have not received the survey link or need assistance, email Caitlin Puffenberger.
