The Best of Black Fresno Survey
|
You should have received earlier this month the first survey conducted by In the Black to
gain our reader's perspective of who is best serving Fresno's black
community. We believe is the first local email survey of its kind
targeting the opinions of black Fresnans. That is why I am asking to
you help us get the information out about this survey to make the
results as representative as possible of Fresno's black professional,
knowledge workers and leadership cyber community.
Some may ask, why is this person or organization on there and this
other is not? While we understand that is the survey is not perfect, we
have incorporate mechanisms throughout the survey to captures
names/organizations from participants that were not included.
In addition, the results of the survey will be published via In the Black and other media outlets. Feel free to forward the survey email or the link and text below.

Food for Thought:
A spirit of harmony can only survive if each of us remembers, when
bitterness and self-interest seem to prevail, that we share a common
destiny.
