The Nashville Urban Manufacturing Task Force is conducting a brief survey of Nashville’s manufacturing and making community. The intent of the survey is to provide an overview of the mix of our local manufacturing community and the most pressing issues they are facing. We appreciate you taking the time to respond to the survey by August 12th. There are a total of 13 questions.
We will be hosting an after work meet and greet with Kate Sofis, the executive director of SF Made, on August 18th for those who complete the survey. Please indicate below if you would like to receive an invitation.
Though we encourage you to provide you're your name and email address in order to contact you in the future regarding our work, it is not required. We will not flood you inbox with needless emails nor share you email address with marketers.
