Impact Retreat Reflection & Looking Ahead Survey

Thank you for being part of this year’s Impact Retreat! Every year we’re amazed by how this community continues to grow, and because of that growth, we’re taking a thoughtful look at what makes this retreat so special—and how we can preserve that experience as we move forward.

As we begin planning for next year, we’d love to hear from you. What made this retreat special? What had the greatest impact on you? What should never change? And where do you see opportunities for us to make the experience even better?

With attendance continuing to grow, we’re also evaluating how we organize the retreat, how we engage volunteers, and how we steward the limited spaces available each year. Our goal is to ensure that every decision we make keeps the focus on serving teachers well and preserving the unique community that has made this retreat so special.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete this survey. Your feedback will help shape the future of the Impact Retreat, and we’re grateful that you’re part of the journey.
