2009 ESAC Survey Now in Progress
ESAC's 2009 survey is our most extensive yet. We want to hear from everyone - member or not - about how our organization can meet the needs of the incredibly diverse group of people involved in environmental studies in Canada.
Current members: We want to assess your current level of satisfaction with your membership and get your thoughts and feedback on some new ideas.
Potential members: We want to discover how we might be able to meet some of your needs as an individual in the interdisciplinary field of environmental studies.
Former members: We want to hear why you left the organization and what changes you would like to see.
Member or not, your time is equally appreciated as each completed survey will provide our association with tools and ideas that will ultimately allow us to serve you better and to advance the field we all know is urgently needed.
Please contact tegan@alternativesjournal.ca for more information.
