We're about to do our board of directors retreat which sets our chamber, tourism and community development agenda for the coming year. Chime in!  What do you think we should be working on? The board will really look at this and consider each comment.  Have a project you think we should consider? Wish we would help you in some way? Do you think an event is out of this world or needs to die? Wish we'd back off on our efforts regarding a certain issue or kick it up a notch? This survey is confidential so let's hear it! Good, fabulous, bad, ugly, we really do want to know. You taking a few minutes to take this survey will go a long way in setting our agenda for the coming year.  Thanks!
