Where is GOFSEA Going?

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

Is the Greater Ohio Safety Educators Association a benefit to you? Do you want to contribute your expertise to help others improve their skills in fire and life safety education? Do you think GOFSEA is meeting the mission statement? Should the organization continue? Is there something else you think we should be doing to be a worthwhile organization for fire and life safety educators? Is there a better way for us to communicate with you? Do you have ideas for meeting format, location, or frequency?

There are 120 members on the mailing list. The board would like to hear from you. Please do one or more of the following to provide your input regarding the above questions:
1) Fill out the current poll
2) Email us
We will compile all answers, comments, suggestions and discuss them at the February meeting. Please respond by January 31, 2006. Remember: NO comment is an answer. If we do not see interest in giving feedback, we will assume there is no interest in the organization. Please voice your thoughts!
