Member Survey
We’re excited to announce the launch of our newly released Madison Trust Membership Survey! It's been nearly a decade since our last survey in 2015, and we believe it’s time to gather your valuable feedback to help guide the future of the Madison Trust.
Whether you've been a member for decades or only a month, your thoughts and experiences matter to us. This survey will help us better understand your needs, refine our programs, improve communication, and ensure our advocacy efforts are aligned with what’s most important to you.
The survey only takes about 10 minutes, and your responses will play a crucial role in shaping the direction of the Madison Trust as we continue to grow and evolve in supporting preservation in Madison.
