Hi ECEA Members! We need your help. Only 15% of our members completed our Industry Snapshot survey.

Can you please help us to develop a comprehensive understanding of how the industry is doing right now? PLEASE fill out this survey asap. We will send you a detailed report early next week outlining the questions and responses in the survey. We will be generalizing the data that we receive from that. No one will see the information except for Dawn and analysis is NOT done on a line by line basis.

Here's the link again if you prefer to copy and paste: https://forms.gle/PDC2oXusYj3YYk8x8

THANK YOU in advance for being willing to do this. We will share the information with legislators and CDEC leadership to advance industry supports for business owners.
