CTLF WiseWomen Survey: Learning, Growth, & Offerings

*** SURVEY CLOSES AUGUST 2ND ***

WE STILL NEED YOUR INPUT!

WiseWomen was created to connect executive women in a safe, nourishing environment where personal and professional relationships can flourish. Our commitment is to create a thriving Colorado community of WiseWomen connecting and supporting each other. This initiative is FOR US FROM US.

 

In this survey, WiseWomen would like to learn more about:

  1. What types of Learning and Professional Growth opportunities interest you.
  2. What Talents, Skills, Connections, and Offerings you would like to share with the community.

How the results of this survey will be used:

  1. Responses from this survey will help us better schedule, organize events, and create engaging content
  2. Insights will be summarized and shared within the community.
  3. You can choose to share your Talents, Skills, Connections, and Offerings with the WiseWomen private community.
  4. We will be collecting your email address for internal purposes only (questions, follow up, etc)

Your feedback in this survey is invaluable as we strive to craft a self-sustaining, enriching environment for all WiseWomen. Thank you for your participation and support!
