Tacoma Military Members Encouraged to Participate in JBLM Service Member Survey

Tacoma, Wash. -- Tacoma military members are encouraged to participate in the South Sound Military and Communities Partnership’s Joint Base Lewis-McChord Needs and Preferences Survey.  Survey questions focus on both demographics and the needs and preferences of service members and their families.  First conducted in 2011, this survey provides data that is used to inform government organizations at the local, state and national levels about a wide range of topics ranging from marital status and homeownership to perception of public safety.

“I really want to encourage our service men and women in Tacoma to participate in the JBLM survey,” said District 5 Council Member Joe Lonergan.  “From a policy standpoint, it’s important for officials at all levels of government to have better data on the needs of our military members so we can support them as much as possible.”

42,000 JBLM service members were invited to take the Needs and Preferences Survey either at JBLM headquarters, via email, or through their chains of command.  The survey is being offered exclusively online.  The deadline for responses is Oct. 21, 2013.  More information is available on the South Sound Military and Communities Partnership website at jblm-growth.com
