MPUG’s call for the most OUTRAGEOUS program sponsor experience kicks off now!

As part of our 2018 Community Survey, we asked the question, “Are you getting the feedback you need from program sponsors?” Well, the results are in, and although 26% of you said that yes, you are getting needed feedback, over 50% said this is an area which could be improved upon. Another 18% of you said an affirmative NO in answer to this question. Yikes! What is going on with your project sponsors?
