Arkansas Service Commission Survey
The Arkansas Service Commission is working to produce a State Service Plan for submission to the Corporation for National and Community Service. This State Plan is produced every three years and will cover 2010-2012 activities. It will determine the priorities for national service programs in Arkansas, in conjunction with our partners such as Learn and Serve, VISTA, Senior Corps, City Year, Delta Service Corps, etc.
You play a vital role in your community and are in touch with opinion leaders and constituents every day. You hear what the people of Arkansas feel are the most important issues for them-what really touches their lives.
Please take a minute or two and link to the survey and let us know what you hear about the needs for service areas in Arkansas. Feel free to send this survey to others you believe would be interested in sharing their opinion, as well.
The survey is at: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB229G5N755Q3
