<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Dear Edward</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Two weeks ago, we invited you to participate in a survey for the Western Rural Development Center (WRDC).
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">If you have already taken the survey, thank you — your input is greatly appreciated.</span></strong> If not, we’d still love to hear from you.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">As you may know, the WRDC moved to a new host institution – the University of Idaho – earlier this year. The WRDC is interested in identifing needs and opportunities to support community development efforts in
your state.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This survey should take about 5 minutes to complete.
<strong><i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">If you completed the July survey, we kindly ask that you take this updated version as well, as it includes additional questions.</span></i></strong></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Please also feel free to forward this survey to colleagues in your institution who are engaged in community development work. Thank you for your time and for helping us make the WRDC a strong resource for rural
development in the western region.</span><br>
