As B’nai Amoona’s Director of Communications, my ultimate goal is to keep our congregants engaged and informed. We use a variety of methods to accomplish this that include emailing weekly newsletters, our printed bulletin, social media posts, and many others. We also know that the key to our success relies on listening to the community we serve – and that includes you.
Below you will find a link to our communications survey. Answering this short form will help us fine-tune how we communicate to you and ensure that we are communicating the information you wish to receive.
In addition to completing this form, you are always welcome to send your questions and comments to me at rachel@bnaiamoona.com.
