Leadership and Membership Commitment

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.  We are asking Collaborative attendees to commit to their preferred role(s) as we move into 2024.  In order to make real change, we are hoping members will commit to at least one committee to offer their help. We also hope that by committing to one committee (in addition to the Full Collaborative meetings), you will be more dedicated and you will receive fewer emails! Please indicate your preferences for each of the following parts of the DBE and Workforce Collaborative below. 

We will need your name and email so we can add you to (or remove you from) the correct lists.  If you do not respond, we will assume you are no longer interested in participating and remove you from the list.  Thanks again for your time.
