Dear all: Here is the revised pilot questionnaire based on the feedback I've gotten.
- It's designed to send out in advance, then to be also used as a template for the personal interviews.
- I've added at the end questions suggested about lessons learned, communication impediments, etc.
- I made changes to refer to city/county to address the concerns about Montgomery County. It's a bit awkward stylistically, but I thought it better than having two separate questionnaire versions made up, one for counties and another for cities.
- I added a question about unique jurisdictional issues (such as multi-state, federal district, etc.); this will be an issue beyond Montgomery county, I suspect.
- Likewise, I put in the sniper incident as an example of emergency incident but also left the weather example. Since we're developing this for a broad range of communities, I feel the need for a range of examples that make sense across the country.
- It's now 7 pages long, which is pushing the limit for busy people, as noted.
Of course, since this is a pilot, we'll have a chance to get feedback on whether we need tighter/broader coverage, shorter/longer series of questions.

Academy Fellow Celebrates Fifty Years of Public Causes
Academy Fellow Brian O’Connell shares the priceless lessons he has learned during a lifetime of third sector experience in Fifty Years in Public Causes: Stories from a Road Less Traveled. O’Connell’s memoir traces his remarkable life in public service, from his early forays in the non-profit sector to his ascendancy as national director of the Mental Health Association, and then as founder of the Independent Sector.
Told through fascinating personal stories, O’Connell’s memoir includes a strong mandate to his successors in public service. He offers his readers the lessons he would emphasize for those who take the journey on that road less traveled.
