2011 Community Assessment Survey participation crucial for success

JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. --  The Integrated Delivery System (IDS) Working Group is sponsoring the 2011 Community Assessment Survey of servicemembers, spouses, reservists, reserve spouses, and civilians. Approximately 40,000 reservists will be surveyed across 36 reserve installations.

Air Force reserve members 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 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," stated Col. Steven J. Chapman, 315th Airlift Wing commander. "It is the best way for us to listen to our members and then provide services to help them meet the special needs of our members and their families. 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 2011 Community Assessment Survey provides our community members a wonderful opportunity to improve the Air Force Community," said Chapman. 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 your local Integrated Delivery System Chair, either Lisa Sweatt, 315th AW at 963-5818 or Lucy Rodriguez, 628th JB Charleston at 963-7272.
