Special Announcement

FELLOWS ALUMNI SURVEY: DEADLINE EXTENDED!

Thank you to those of you who completed the Fellows Alumni Survey! However, in order for the results to be viable, we need more responses—so we have extended the deadline to Wednesday, December 18. Please take 10 minutes today and complete the survey.

Your responses on this survey will help shape what the Fellows Program and the Alumni network look like over the next five years. This includes your feedback on key components of the program—the things that are most important for you and the areas where you want to see change or improvement.

Click here to begin taking the survey.

To encourage participation, we are raffling off a free registration to the 2020 LCLD Alumni Leadership Symposium for one Fellow who completes the survey before December 18. We are also offering prizes (and bragging rights!) to the class with the highest response rate. The class of 2018 remains in the lead, but there's still time for others to catch up!

Fellows Class	Response Rate
2018	59%
2016	37%
2017	35%
2012	34%

2015	30.9%
2013	20%

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.
