Each year, Quebec’s SADC and CAE network commissions a phone survey of some its members’ clients and partners by an independent firm.
The survey, conducted by SOM Research & Surveys, is aimed at assessing programs, actions and outcomes in the communities served by the SADCs and CAEs. It also sheds light on clients and partners’ satisfaction with the services they received.
