The TDC is kicking off the 2012- 2013 cooperative partner programs and we need your help! It is important to get input and feedback from you, our partner, so that we can build cooperative partner programs based on what is most important to your organization.  

A survey located at the link below, is open to all bed tax collectors, regardless of whether or not you have participated in the past. It should take you less than 15 minutes to complete and is an important tool in developing the partner programs. All responses must be received by Friday, January 27th. Once the results are evaluated, we will present the findings at the partner workshop scheduled for Thursday, February 9th. Thank you for your time!
