CMEA 2005 Survey Results

During 2005, the Canadian Military Engineers Association conducted a Membership Survey to receive feedback on the Association. The results of the Survey are available here.

This input was used as background material during our Strategic Planning Workshop to outline “The Way Ahead” for the next five years. That document will be published soon on this web site.

We would like to thank those who gave us their input by participating in the Survey. We also will look forward to a continuation of this interest when we need a number of volunteers to put our Strategic Plan into action.
