Members: It is Time to Complete Our Annual Recertification Survey 2015

May 13, 2015

May 13, 2015

Every year, Federation members must complete our recertification survey as part of our Member in Good Standing Policy.

Recertification is a chance for you to update the Federation about your work, your priorities, and your team. It’s also an opportunity to let us know of any changes we can make to improve your experience as a member.

Last year, we introduced you to a new recertification process. Since then, we have refined this process based on your suggestions.

This updated process will allow us to gather all the important details about your organization in order to update our records while also collecting, analyzing, and reporting back critical information about the work our members are doing as a whole.

Because this year’s recertification survey involves a slightly different process, I sent you a detailed email with instructions about a few things you need to do in order to complete the recertification process.

Most importantly, for staffed organizations, the Executive Director must be the one filling out the survey – for some questions, only the ED will know how to answer.

Click here to complete the Federation Member Recertification Survey now.

Completing recertification is necessary in order to ensure your organization remains in good standing. This information is also helpful not only to the Federation but to our funders and our partners who are able to see the growing strength of the state-based movement.

You can access the recertification survey here. We ask that you please complete the survey by June 17.
