Linking Budget to Strategy in Local Government Survey
You are invited to participate in ClearPoint Strategy's survey on Linking Budget to Strategy in Local Government. In this survey, you will be asked to complete a survey that asks questions about your strategy and budget processes, and how COVID-19 may have affected these processes. It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

While optional, we suggest reading ClearPoint Strategy's Linking Budget to Strategy in Local Government whitepaper as it may help with various definitions used throughout the survey.
