Members, the WMSBF has been updating our Self Assessment Guide (SAG) to Sustainable Business Practices based on the information/feedback from our pilot group and the membership meeting information session awhile back.

The SAG has now been developed as a web-based tool and is appropriate for various types of organizations (size, service versus manufacturing, appropriate for renters, etc.).  We are at a point where we are able to try out this 2.0 version.

We need your feedback on how you would like to see reports structured so we need your feedback.  Please do the following:

Use this link to access the Online survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WMSBF_SAG

Take the survey and hit submit
Results will be calculated and a report will be sent via e-mail within a week.
• Please send your feedback on how the reports should be structured to Kyle (kyle@wmsbf.org) for compilation.

The first ten organizations to complete the survey will receive as special token of appreciation...thanks!
