20. Comments –I feel that the measures of this survey will focus survey takers on the diminished capacity of CBFWA as it stands now rather than how it has performed in the past when it was funded and capable and operating at a higher capacity. There should be some measure of before and after to provide perspective. Thanks for asking. –The need for all F&W managers to be able to come together through a common organization will always be a high priority. Only CBFWA serves this purpose. The need and general purpose will not change but annual scope of work should be adaptive based on changing priorities. –SOTR report very weak in the Wildlife portion.

21. Summary –The CBFWA organization serves a small, but diverse, community of wildlife managers and non-managers –The CBFWA Organization is doing a good job of serving its members and the larger community –A few members are dissatisfied for unspecified reasons –CBFWA staff appears to be doing a good job –Nothing in the survey indicates that a major shift in direction is needed at this time
