Translated versions are available in five languages: – Spanish, Hmong, Vietnamese, Chinese and Russian As you complete the paper survey, make sure that you follow the directions as closely as possible. – For example, under each goal, each action should be given a different priority number – you cannot rank all items with the same number. Surveys are anonymous, but if you would like to be added to the Strategic Plan mailing list, you may include your email. 18
