The City and Borough of Juneau is inviting you to share your thoughts on how we at CBJ communicate and engage with the community. A new survey, below, gives residents the opportunity to provide feedback on current communication efforts and express preferences for staying informed about CBJ news and updates.

“Our goal is to stay connected with our community and ensure all residents can engage and receive important information in ways that work best for them,” said CBJ City Manager Katie Koester.  “We encourage everyone to take a few minutes to complete the survey and help shape the future of CBJ communications.”

The survey is anonymous and takes only a few minutes to complete. We appreciate your input and look forward to using this feedback to improve our communication and engagement efforts.

For questions, please contact the City Manager’s Office at 907-586-5240 or [email protected]. To sign up for email updates from CBJ about news, meetings, and facilities information, visit bit.ly/CBJAlerts.
