Focus Groups

Celebrating the past and looking towards the future…
         
As Temple Emanu-El celebrates its 30th birthday, this is the perfect opportunity to reflect upon where we have been and where we will go into the future.  We invite you to participate in one of the many focus groups being conducted at Temple Emanu-El.
 
Help us discover: 

• how we are strongest as a congregation
• ways that we can strengthen our community
• how to effectively provide interesting programs and activities
• how to best allocate our resources
• our ritual behaviors and standards

 
Your input is vital and enables us to continue to shape the congregation so that we all have a voice in our strategic planning process.  
 
All we need now is YOU.
