Dear Friends and Supporters of Us TOO,

Thank you so much for attending the Us TOO University “Teaming for Success” meeting/conference a few weeks ago. I thought it was a great meeting and I have had an opportunity to review the evaluation forms many of you completed. I was pleased by the positive comments I saw. You thought it was good, too, and gave us great feedback for our efforts going forward. If you've yet to give your feedback, click here for a copy you can mail to Us TOO.

In one of our immediate next steps, the Board of Directors and staff are working on a project to develop a statement of Us TOO’s “promise of value,” which describes the unique qualities and capabilities that characterize our organization. We will use this statement to develop clear, consistent and compelling messaging in all the different ways (web site, chapter information, printed materials, etc.) that Us TOO communicates with all the different groups and people that interact with our organization.

This statement needs to be based on reality, and that’s why we’re asking you —an important part of our leadership team working day-to-day “in the trenches”— to share your insights and opinions about how you perceive Us TOO by completing a quick survey.

Your answers do not need to be a lengthy essay, or even a complete sentence. In fact, the shorter the better. After we’ve developed the statement based on your responses, as well as those of the Board and staff, we will share the results of our work with you.

Thank you in advance for your help.  We’d like to receive your responses by September 13th.

Sincerely,


Thomas Kirk
President & CEO
