Make a difference through 2011 Community Assessment Survey Published Feb. 14, 2011 By Public Affairs 315th Airlift Wing JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The Integrated Delivery System Working Group and Air Force leadership are encouraging reservists, civilians and military spouses to make a difference in their workplace and the Air Force community by taking the 2011 Community Assessment Survey. Survey participants will be randomly selected to participate in the study. A notification letter that includes a link to the Web-based survey will be sent out to the work email address of each reserve service member and civilian selected to participate (A postcard with the web address of the survey will be sent to the home addresses of reserve spouses who are selected to participate.) Participation is crucial to the success of the project, and selected service members are strongly urged to take part. "The 2011 Community Assessment Survey is a top priority," said Col. Steven Chapman, 315th Airlift Wing commander. "It is the best way for us to listen to our reserve community and then provide services to help them meet any special needs they might have. It allows them to express their opinions anonymously so participants can respond openly and honestly to issues that affect them every day." Survey responses can directly influence family services and related support activities at local bases and throughout the Air Force. In fact, results from previous Air Force Community Assessments have impacted the policies and programs that support families at every level of the Air Force. "The survey provides community members a wonderful opportunity to improve the Air Force community," Colonel Chapman added. "We hope those selected will do everything they can to respond to the survey as quickly as possible." If you have any questions regarding the 2011 Community Assessment, please contact the 315th AW's Integrated Delivery System Chair at 963-5818.
