2011 Community Assessment Survey - Warren member’s make opinions heard Published Feb. 10, 2011 By Glenn Garcia 90th Medical Operations Squadron F. E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, WYO -- The Integrated Delivery System is sponsoring the 2011 Community Assessment Survey beginning this week. Active duty members, spouses and Department of Defense civilians can use this survey to make their opinions and needs known. As part of Air Force Global Strike Command, 90th Missile Wing leadership and the Air Force will use the survey results to target resources where they are most needed to enhance the resiliency of the community. Air Force members worldwide will be randomly selected to participate in the study. A notification letter that includes a link to the Web-based survey will be sent out to the work e-mail address of each person selected to participate; spouses will be sent a letter in the mail with the Web link. Participation is crucial to the success of the project; selected community members are strongly urged to take part. "The 2011 Community Assessment Survey is a top priority for Warren," said Col. John Boyle, 90th Mission Support Group commander. "It is the best way for us to listen to Warren's members and then provide services to help them meet their needs and the needs of their families. It allows them to express their opinions anonymously so participants can respond openly and honestly to issues that affect them every day." Survey responses can directly influence family services and related support activities at here and throughout the Air Force. Results from previous assessments have impacted the policies and programs that support families at every level of the Air Force. Some of these programs include: Expanding financial counseling programs to members and their families Develop a user-friendly support network for Air Force single parents Set up marriage support seminars for junior enlisted members and their spouses "The 2011 Community Assessment Survey provides community members a wonderful opportunity to improve the Air Force community," said Col. Amelia Hutchins, 90th Medical Group deputy commander. "We hope those selected will do everything they can to respond to the survey as quickly as possible." This year's survey will be particularly important to members here. As part of the DoD sponsored initiative, along with some supplemental questions, the results will be used to direct additional resources to help servicemembers and families base wide. Base agencies will be working with researchers to ensure this year's survey results are used to the maximum benefit.
