BE IN THAT NUMBER! TAKE OUR SURVEY!
We’re depending on your help with
a BRIEF economic impact survey
at the Festival this year. Volunteers
will be at most venues throughout
the Festival and will ask patrons to
take the quick survey. The results
will provide us with data we can use
to increase our support from grants,
foundations, and corporations.
Our target is 650 patrons, so please
plan to be in that number and take
the survey!
The survey will be processed and
analyzed by the University of New
Orleans Hospitality Research Center.
Many thanks to the Greater New Orleans Foundation
Mission Acceleration Grants Fund for their support of this
project.
