TO: All Tribal Members and Family
FROM: The Tribal Planning Department
RE: Surveys in 2007
Hello to all tribal members.
During the coming months, the
tribe's Planning Department staff will
be developing and distributing dif
ferent surveys at different times to
determine tribal membership needs.
We want to send out several dur
ing the year that are targeted to spe
cific areas of service needs. For ex
ample, we plan to distribute a survey
targeting tribal veterans to determine
how we can best plan tor resource
development.
In 2006. we distributed a hous
ing survey to the 1 I-county service
area in Oregon. This coming year, we
Come One, Come All!
would like to distribute a more com
prehensive housing and housing-
related services survey to the entire
membership for input.
We are providing this notice in
advance in hopes that when you re
ceive the survey you will take the
time to complete it. The information
will, as always, be confidential.
Please consider this your oppor
tunity to give input into the ongoing
process that starts with the l()-year
comprehensive plan and expands to
cover unmet needs.
Thank you in advance.
