The Republic Story Survey

Important – This is NOT required to be done…

Thank you for taking part in this important effort to better understand the voices that will shape our Republic. The survey is designed to explore how JoCo residents connect with their communities, history, government, and shared ideals. Your insights will help guide programs, conversations, and initiatives that strengthen civic engagement regarding a Republic form of government across this great nation. Again Thanks.

Questions 1 through 15 are “get to know you” questions that we’d like to see you answer, again NOT REQUIRED. 17 through 30 are questions on our history, what you know and what might interest you, but again NOT REQUIRED.
