Dear [NAME],

You are receiving this email as a notice for an upcoming survey about the recruitment, training, and professional development practices your Early Head Start (EHS) program uses! You will be invited to participate in the survey in the coming weeks.

The study is sponsored by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and will be conducted by The Urban Institute and MEF Associates. The survey should take about 30 minutes to complete.

Below, you will find example questions from the survey in order to see what kind of information you will need to fill out the survey. Additionally, you can view the full survey here if you would like to further review: [LINK]

If you believe another person in your program would be better suited to complete the survey, please reply to this email with their name, email, and phone number. A member of our team will send them an email invitation to complete the survey. Only one person per program needs to complete the survey.
