Secrets of a Successful Organizer Survey

Thank you for buying Secrets of a Successful Organizer. We hope the book can be a tool in the hard work ahead.

Labor Notes wants to hear how organizers like you are using the book, as well as what you thought of it. Your answers will help us as we continue to develop materials to go along with the book. We also hope you'll help us get it into as many hands as possible.

All those who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing for one of three prizes: 1) a Troublemakers hoodie; 2) a Troublemakers t-shirt; 3) a Troublemakers pint glass or mug.
