Simple, transparent,
and straightforward.

Here is exactly what happens from the moment you sign up to when the report reaches Village Trustees.

Four steps from signup to report.

1

Fill out the signup form

Share your first name, last name, email address, and Northbrook street address. This is the only information we collect at this stage. Your address confirms you are a Northbrook resident. The form takes less than two minutes to complete.

2

We email you the questionnaire

Once the survey is ready, you will receive the full questionnaire by email. It will cover topics including downtown retail, dining, green space, parking, housing, walkability, and overall community identity. You will have time to complete it at your own pace.

3

You complete the survey

Answer the questions honestly. Your responses are confidential. Nothing you write in the survey will be published with your name attached. We are looking for genuine community input, not any particular answer.

4

We compile, anonymize, and share the results

All responses are anonymized before analysis. We compile the findings into a clear summary report showing community trends and priorities. That report is emailed to every participant and formally submitted to Village Trustees.


What we collect and why.

We ask for your name and Northbrook address for one reason: to confirm that participants are actual Northbrook residents. This makes the final report credible and meaningful when it reaches Village Trustees.

Your personal information is never published, sold, or shared with any third party. Survey answers are anonymized before analysis. You will never be identifiable in the published results.
