 Dear -Name-,

 Within the next few days, you will receive a request to complete a brief questionnaire.
 We are mailing it to you in an effort to measure the leadership expectations and
 perceptions of Florida Farm Bureau county board members.

 This survey is being conducted to better inform the Florida Farm Bureau Federation on
 the leadership needs and expectations of those members who are serving on county Farm
 Bureau boards. The information will be used to develop future leadership training
 programs for county board members.

 We would greatly appreciate your taking the few minutes necessary to complete and
 return your questionnaire.

 Thank you in advance for your help.

 Sincerely,


 Hannah Carter
