Needs Assessment Survey

The AETC National Resource Center is beginning to prepare for future activities and our first step is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of your needs. This very important annual process helps us to develop our work plan and offers an opportunity for you to comment on areas that we may need to improve.

The 2010 Needs Assessment Survey is available through the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=zvVkRvhJDh4nqtqf71hoqQ_3d_3d
