AAO Re-Opening Readiness Survey
|
|
The pandemic continues to chart a challenging and unpredictable path, but the widespread distribution of vaccines has many cultural institutions starting to plan for re-opening.
Help AAO understand the state of your near-future planning and concerns by responding to our brief “Re-Opening Readiness Survey.” The survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete. Feedback from our community will help shape future program topics and resources as we all prepare for the eventual arrival of in-person and hybrid programming.
