A caption of the survey results

A few weeks ago we gathered your input to see how our group can grow to meet your expectations. Below are the results from the survey. We will take this into consideration as we expand with our new board. As a side note, many of you wanted to use different mediums to gather information from us, so below are the links to our other social media sources. Thank you to all who participated! It really helped give the Sierra Club Chinook Group some direction.
