What was said

What board members said, in order

I know they're professionals. I don't think they're cherry-picking anything. But in the light of total transparency, how we analyze and present the results from all the surveys, could we keep that consistent? It. So if we're going to outsource the other ones, why can't we have the morale outsourced as well with open-ended questions?Ken Dawson · Board member1:52:10
