Illinois Paddling Council

Dear Fellow Paddler:

The Illinois Paddling Council is the primary voice for paddlers and paddle sports in Illinois. In order to perform that function it is important for IPC to solicit occasional feedback from the paddling community. We are beginning a planning process, and we hope that you will be willing to spend a few minutes of your time to help us to better represent your views.

This questionnaire consists of two lists. The first is a list of the Major Functions of IPC, and the second is a list of current Programs. We ask that you read both lists carefully, and then try to add any other Functions or Programs that you think we should be doing in the spaces provided ( there are three spaces provided in each category for your additions ).

Once you have made your additions, please rate those Functions and Programs that are most important to you. Then rate those Functions and Programs that are of secondary importance to you. Finally, rate those Functions and Programs that are not important to you.
