I'm afraid I gave Michael the wrong information about how to participate 
in the workforce survey!

If you are willing to participate, please email Charlie Colgan at 
[log in to unmask] He will generate a unique link for you to access the 
survey.

Thanks for participating, and please accept my apologies for the mix-up!

Sincerely,
Tora Johnson

GIS Director
University of Maine at Machias
