Dear Military Family Member,
As part of the contract under which the National Guard Child and Youth Program operates, we have been asked to survey Families who have utilized Child and Youth Program resources and services from the period of 1 June 2012 to present. The purpose of this survey is to gather valuable information related to current strengths of the program as well as areas where continued development could be targeted for improvement. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure the state/territory Child and Youth Program is adequately meeting the needs of our military-connected population.
We invite you to take a few minutes (10-15) to complete the Family Member Satisfaction Survey online. You may do this by clicking on the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2013Family Information gathered from this survey is completely anonymous and will only be used to improve services provided by the Child and Youth Program at the state/territory and national levels. If you are unable to complete the survey online, a PDF version has been attached to this email for you. Please mail or email the PDF version of the survey to ATTN: Ms. Erin Berry, Eastern Region Assistant Program Manager, 434 Chase Road, Columbus, OH 43214 or erin.berry@cog-ps.com.
Deadline for completion and submission of Family Member Satisfaction Surveys is 9 August 2013. Should you have any questions regarding the information contained in this email, please feel free to contact your Lead Child and Youth Program Coordinator for further information.
