SSN: State of Network Survey

Organization Information

Before we dive in, we’d like to confirm key details about your organization and who’s best to contact for future follow-up or collaboration opportunities. This ensures we can stay connected and share relevant insights or invitations with the right person. We rely on the point person to bring back Network learnings and resources to your colleagues, identify staff to participate in Network activities, and help shape our Network’s priorities.
