East Madison Neighborhoods Website Survey

Dear eastsiders,

A fantastic team of expert volunteers are working together to build an east Madison neighborhoods' website. 
Included in the team are Cathy DeShano, Madison Commons; Cassandra Garcia, Mapping specialist and Hawthorne leader; John Koch, writer/researcher/tech specialist and Emerson East leader; Matt Krueger, web designer/tech specialist; Jennifer Keeley, content specialist & SASY neighbor; Kevin Wissink, current webmaster and Tenney neighbor. 

Please take a break from your work to give the team your insights and ideas.  Your feedback is crucial to making the site a valuable community resource. 

East Madison Neighborhoods Website Survey


The East Isthmus Neighborhood Planning Council (EINPC) is redesigning its website and would like your feedback.

The survey has 10 simple questions and should take between 5-10 minutes to complete. Your responses will be anonymous (kept separate from your email/name) and are very valuable to the committee.

Thank you 10 times for 10 answers!
