Help Shape the Future of Forward Cody
Now that Jake Hogan has a good handle on how Forward Cody has been working, he is starting to look toward the future for Cody’s economic development organization.
To that end, they have created two surveys to help gather feedback from the current members and the general public. This data will support the decisions about where to take Forward Cody next.
SURVEY 1: Help Redesign Membership with Forward Cody
The first will help them solidify the redesign of the membership levels. The short survey will help them create benefits and programs supporting Cody’s business community. From this, they plan to offer more value, connection, and support for individual success.
SURVEY 2: What Does Cody’s Business Community Need Most in 2025?
The second survey asks what you think the Cody Business community needs. Focusing more closely on the vast number of entrepreneurs in Cody, this survey focuses on where entrepreneurs are in their business and how Forward Cody can help. In addition, they want your feedback on the most important aspects of economic development to guide Forward Cody’s further growth.
Answer the surveys before Thursday, August 7, 2025! This is a prime opportunity to give feedback to Forward Cody.
