Special Announcement
FELLOWS ALUMNI, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
LCLD is excited to announce the launch of this year’s Fellows Alumni Survey! The survey takes less than 10 minutes and helps demonstrate the value of the Fellows Program and the Alumni network. It also helps ensure that as LCLD grows, both the Fellows Program and the Alumni network continue to meet your needs.
Click here to begin taking the survey.
And, because we know your time is a valuable resource, LCLD will donate $2 to the Posse Foundation for every survey completed before the deadline of Wednesday, November 27. We will also provide prizes (and bragging rights!) to the class with the highest response rate when the survey closes, so encourage your Fellows classmates to respond! If you have any questions about the survey, email Caitlin Puffenberger, Communications Manager, at cpuffenberger@lcldnet.com.
Please note: This survey is for Fellows in classes 2011 through 2018. If you are a 2019 Fellow, you do not need to complete this survey.
