GIS Day Survey

I just sent out an email to all of the participants that we could identify, but if you did not receive that email we would appreciate your feedback!

The GIS Day Committee would like to thank you for attending the 5th annual GIS Day event, titled “GIS – The Power of Location”.  We hope that you found it an informative and fun day for GIS, and got some good swag!  In an effort to improve our event, we would ask that you fill out a quick survey to let us know what we did well, and what we could improve.  The survey will take around 3-4 minutes to complete, and has about 10 questions.

To fill out the survey, click on this link: http://egis3.lacounty.gov/eGIS/gisday/gis-day-survey/

 

 Thank you, and we hope to see you again next year.
