APHIS Stakeholder Survey Summary
Thursday, August 9, 2012

APHIS is pleased to be able to share a summary of the Stakeholder Survey we conducted earlier this year. More than 220 stakeholders responded providing their perspective on the Agency’s essential services and opportunities for enhanced partnerships. APHIS’ Acting Administrator Kevin Shea provides some context around the responses in his Open Letter to Stakeholders and we’ve also prepared a larger 9-page summary document that highlights some of the themes that emerged from the responses.
