Partner Benefits Survey

River Network’s Partner Benefits Program is being re-vamped! Act now to help shape our future benefits and dues structure.

In conjunction with the release of our 2010-2015 Strategic Plan, we will be launching a new Partner benefits and dues structure. The benefits we'll continue to offer will be both tangible, as well as those "intangibles" that are derived from a network backed by an experienced national river and watershed conservation organization and its hundreds of active Partner organizations.

In this process, we need YOUR feedback on what benefits to keep, what to toss and what to develop or offer in order to best meet your needs. Please submit your input today!

Partners who complete the survey will be entered to win one of five free one-year Partnerships.

Note: If you are an individual Partner of River Network, please skip the "Organizational Information" section and skip questions that pertain primarily to organizations. Thank you for your input.
