Federal Reserve Business Survey - How is the economy affecting your business? 


If you have a few minutes, you can help our partners at the Federal Reserve by taking this survey on the economy. If you’ve been to one of our luncheons with Ron Wirtz, you see how they use surveys to help them better understand the needs of our businesses. If you think others could benefit from taking the survey, please send to them too. Their survey numbers haven’t been as high as they’d like, and they have extended their polling period to this Friday, so we know they’d appreciate any additional responses.
