Everyday we read negative news about the economy. Jobless rates continue to climb, spending is off, and the credit markets have been hit hard. Yet some businesses are holding their own; some even finding opportunities. To help you gain a better perspective of the business activity around you, The Board Forum and ADAMS have teamed up to survey how organizations in New England and New York are grappling in this economic climate.

If you take 3 minutes to complete the attached brief survey, we’ll share the results with you. Not to worry, its totally anonymous. This valuable survey will provide insight to perceptions and attitudes as well as an indication of how others are either weathering the storm or thriving in this environment.

We plan this to be the first of a quarterly measurement. Complete this survey along with future ones and you’ll see the trends in business perceptions and attitudes as they develop.

Thanks for completing this short questionnaire. We’ll forward the results in the next couple of weeks.
