MarketMaker Partner Survey

Hello MarketMaker Supporter:

You are invited and urged to participate in our on-line survey of MarketMaker collaborators from across the country. The purpose of this survey is to better understand what you hope MarketMaker will help you to achieve, and to identify challenges and opportunities associated with your MarketMaker experience.

The survey is largely composed of open-ended questions to allow you to express your ideas freely. Your responses will be combined with others and you or your state will not be identified, unless you agree to be identified.

The valueable information you provide will help guide a newly-formed MarketMaker Evaluation Committee and will help us to improve MarketMaker for the benefit of all.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
