Membership Survey and Organizational Goals for 2005-2006
Updated July 6, 2005

In February of 2005, a membership survey was conducted to assist the UDI - Calgary Board of Directors in establishing its goals for the period 2005 and 2006. Thank you to those members who took the time to fill in and return the survey. The results of the survey provided important feedback to the Board of Directors and formed the basis of discussion at their Strategic Planning Session held in March 2005. We are pleased to post both the summarized survey results and the UDI - Calgary Goals for 2005-2006.
