Survey on City leadership
A Syracuse University student partnering with the City of Syracuse has created a survey meant to assess how residents feel City leadership engages the local community. The survey results will help the City’s Innovation Team understand how they can improve the City’s local outreach and community engagement.
With enough responses, the survey will give local leadership a better understanding of what they’re doing well and what they can improve on. The survey is anonymous and takes about 5 minutes to complete.
