CLA Strategic Planning Questionnaire - Commonwealth Lawyers Association

The following survey is a tool that will guide the development of the CLA’s new strategy for the period 2021 - 2025. With this quick survey, we hope to gather perspectives from our membership and external stakeholders on key trends and the CLA’s role in addressing them.

*Questions with an asterisk are asked to assist us in planning for diversity policy. All questions are optional.

Please note that all information supplied will only be used to collate opinion for the development of CLA’s strategic plan and will never be shared outside the organisation. Personal identifying data will be destroyed after the Strategic Plan is published. Responses that are not identifiable may be collated and kept for future reference and planning.
