How to complete the Agency Questionnaire
The Agency Questionnaire was designed to ask for specific information. This information matches the information that our users see as the results of a search. Because of this, we need you to complete the form as it is written, and to complete it as fully as possible. Please do not add information that is not requested on the form. We have nowhere to "plug in" extra data. Where appropriate, use the "Other" space for additional information not covered on the form.
Program Type: How will the listing be organized in the database?
- Classes are instructional and conducted over a limited period of time.
- Groups are more informal and usually meet on a regular and ongoing basis.
- Agencies are resources, programs, and services offered to the community.
- Events are activities that are offered for a short period of time such as lectures, workshops, and family recreation.
