This all LEA e-mail is being sent on behalf of the LEA Support Services Branch of the California Integrated Waste Management Board.

This is a friendly reminder to those of you returning from vacation -- please take a few minutes to complete the 2005/2006 LEA Training Needs Survey. Your input is extremely important and helps CIWMB training staff provide you with the training you want and need. Please help us by filling out the survey found at the link below. If you haven't responded yet, there's still time. The deadline is July 18th!

Since distributing the survey, CIWMB training staff developed ideas about offering a one-day GIS course, similar to the presentation given at the LEA/CIWMB Partnership Conference in May. Before we embark on designing the specifics of the course, we would like to hear from you on what you think it should include. Please take a few minutes to answer the GIS training questions below. Please respond by August 1, 2005.

  • Other (please describe).
