INCLUSIVITY: One of the Co-op’s Key Values
This month we’re conducting a member satisfaction survey. We do this every three years or so, using the same survey as our sister co-ops so we can compare our members’ responses to those of other co-ops. We do this survey because we care what our members think and because we’re always interested in how we could be even better.
