NHB Survey

Dear New Horizons Members,

What a year! We want to thank all of you for your patience and flexibility since the pandemic hit. As we look towards planning the next, we wanted to stop and take the pulse of our group and get a sense of what is working and what can use some tweaking.

You can help us tremendously find the sweet spot to aim for this next year by filling out the brief five to ten minute survey below.

While we’d love to put names and faces to your thoughts, we understand and respect that you may wish to stay anonymous. All questions are completely optional and we appreciate any feedback you have to offer.

Thanks!

Your Board of Directors, New Horizons
