Hello! 

Blandford Nature Center is currently undergoing a strategic planning process to guide their organization for the next 3 years. Blandford is committed to their mission to educate, engage, and empower our community to become stewards of the natural world that sustains us. Blandford also understands that the success of their mission is dependent on actively engaging members of the communities they serve. 

To support their efforts, they have requested that Inclusive Performance Strategies, LLC (IPS) facilitate a strategic planning process that engages staff, board members, volunteers, partners, and community members. 

The following survey will help Blandford obtain community perspective on its mission, programming, and outreach.

The survey will take 5 minutes or less to complete.  The information will help develop a strategic plan to advance Blandford Nature Center’s mission. 

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and you will remain anonymous.  If you have any questions you may contact Danielle Veldman anytime at [email protected]. 

Thank you very much for your time and support. Your completed survey gets you a single day family admission to Blandford Nature Center, as well as a chance to win a $50 gift card from Amazon.com. Three lucky recipients for the Amazon gift card will be selected in a random drawing by Monday, August 29, 2016.
