YLA Cadet Feedback on 2011-2012 Program

Welcome to the 2011-2012 YLA Cadet Evaluation Survey! Please take your time and read each question carefully. Your input is very important to us! Cadet needs will help staff plan for next year, so THIS IS YOUR CHANCE to let us know what you need in order to be the leader you want to be! Of course, this can only happen if you answer the questions in this survey HONESTLY. If you have a question about any part of this survey, simply ask an YLA staff member. By the way, cadets who complete this survey will be automatically entered into a raffle for free gift cards that will be given away at our May 12 session. Are you ready? Set .... GO!
