Artist Survey Mass Cultural Council is currently undertaking a strategic planning process which will establish goals and shape the Agency’s direction for the coming years. We’re doing this with the support of a local consulting firm, Strategy Matters. As part of our strategic planning process, we need your input! The consulting team is looking to identify the unique strengths, opportunities, and challenges facing Mass Cultural Council. Please complete our stakeholder survey and share your unique perspective – an imperative component in the Agency’s work to develop a comprehensive strategic plan. The survey will remain open throughout the end of the year. Our consultants will keep your responses confidential. They will share information from the survey only as averages and totals. They may share phrases or quotes only if it is certain they are not identifiable. This survey should take about 10-20 minutes to complete. Please answer candidly. Contact Amanda Santos Jewell, Project Manager, with any questions. Please complete the stakeholder survey.
