NARI and the industry at large need to hear what members are thinking on a regular basis. Collectively, our voices are powerful – so we are asking you to get involved in some micro surveys on key issues. These surveys of no more than 3 questions and will take under a minute to complete, yet give our organization important information. Your responses are anonymous and you can participate from any device as from a smart phone up through a regular computer. No need to find the politically correct response, NARI wants to hear the unvarnished truth. The first survey is now available and focuses on how your business is doing from a profit standpoint. Results will be published on NARI.org and in NARI Newswatch. See how your thoughts compare to your peers.
