In 2021, a student team from the University of Oregon Master of Nonprofit Management Program surveyed member Watershed Councils, to learn more about which member services NOWC values, what can be added, and what can be improved. They analyzed the survey results and developed a report and presentation which our committee will use to guide future improvements. Check them out!
