How do you see the Long Lake Association? What is the Association’s role?

The surveys asked opinions about several issues, including:
- Whether or not the Association should be "more politically active by representing you and/or your property to local and state officials..." on several issues. (see results)
- Whether "you would like to see the Association's Recreation Committee organize other social activities..." (see results)
- Other topics of concern (see results)
In addition, the survey asked for "ranking of several issues as to their importance to you, using the following scale": (see results)
- Very important/Needs immediate attention
- Somewhat important/Needs future attention
- Not very important/If there is time then address it
- Not important at all/Don’t waste your time
