Now collecting feedback about professional development needs

The Connecticut National Estuarine Research Reserve has contracted Responsive Management, an independent research firm specializing in natural resources and the environment, to conduct a survey to better understand professional development needs and interests on topics including storm preparedness, habitat, and water quality.

We want your feedback! Your opinions are important to us and your responses will help Reserve staff plan education and training opportunities that are most valuable to you and your colleagues.

This survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete, depending on your responses. Responses will remain anonymous, and completing the survey does not obligate you to further participate in Reserve events.

We would love to hear from everyone in your organization whose role in their job or community might involve interest in or a need for education or training in any capacity. If you know of anyone whose opinion on these topics should be included in this survey, please share the link above.
