OABA SURVEY - HELP US HELP YOU!

OABA is currently conducting a significant survey in order to accomplish a number of goals which will benefit individual Alpaca farms, as well as the industry as a whole. The results of the survey will assist OABA in showing the economic impact that the alpaca industry has. It will also provide insights as to how your farm fits into the picture of the industry at large. Additionally, the survey will provide OABA members with an opportunity to give the Board of Directors feedback as to what you think we are doing right, and what we need to improve upon. While OABA is conducting the survey, we are attempting to build a profile of as many Ohio farms as possible, and so we are not only asking for you to print out & complete the survey, but we are also requesting your help in directing non-OABA farms to the survey link, so that they may also complete and mail it in. Remember that the more completed surveys we receive, the more valid & useful the data derived from it will be. Please discuss the importance of this survey with as many alpaca farms (both OABA & Non-OABA members) as you can, and direct them to this web page so that they may participate!

This is one of the most important things that OABA will be doing in 2010, and it will only succeed if we can count on your participation. It is the fervent wish of the board of directors that OABA be an effective & dynamic organization, and this can only be the case if our members share this committment. So please click on the link below, print out your copy of the survey, and mail it in as soon as you can! We thank you for your timely support in this important endeavor.
