Survey for Tribal members
Tribal Council invites all Tribal members to participate in the 2015 Social and
Economic Survey implemented in partnership with Portland State University.
The survey provides valuable information that will be used to guide future
decisions that benefit Tribal members. Tribal member input is critical and
helps Tribal Council determine priorities, develop strategic plans, and develop
grants and budgets for services that are important to you and your family.
This year, the Social and Economic Survey and the Tribal Housing Survey
are combined, so you will only be asked to complete one survey.
The survey can be taken online at www.CTGRMemberSurvey.com or on
paper by mail. An invitation with more details was mailed out to all Tribal
members the week of June 15. Everyone is encouraged to complete the survey
online as soon as possible to promote sustainability and increase your chance
to win up to $1,500.
If you complete the survey, you will be entered into a random drawing to
win one of 15 cash prizes, including 10 $100 prizes, five $500 prizes and one
grand prize of $1,500. n

If you have an emergency and need to dial “911” you must first dial
a “9” (9911). The only calls that do not require that you dial a 9+ are
those made from the CTGR extensions within the CTGR campus and/
or those who use CTGR Tel for their home phone service. n
