Every two years the Council deploys a Community Priorities Survey to Asian and Pacific Islanders living across Minnesota. This survey is one of the tools the Council utilizes to better serve our Asian Pacific Minnesotan (APM) communities over the coming years. The survey is designed to capture both recurring and new community concerns that can be addressed through our legislative work.
In order for the survey to be a powerful statement, reflective of the concerns of the APM community, we encourage participation from across the metro, Greater Minnesota, and our diverse ethnic groups.
The survey is now open! We invite all members of the APM community to
take the survey here. The survey will take less than 3 minutes to complete.
Please share the survey widely across your APM family, community, and networks.
About the Survey
What does the Community Priorities Survey ask?
The first part of the survey asks about basic demographic information: city and ethnicity. This information is collected solely to ensure the Council is collecting an accurate sample from the APM community, and will remain anonymous.
The second part of the survey identifies critical information about the APM community that helps guide the Council's work. From a list of topics, identified through past community surveys, the survey taker is asked to select the 3 most important issues to them. If they not see an issue that is important to them, they may write in their own issue. In addition to listed topics, write-in responses will also be analyzed to understand why these issues are important to our community and to help guide the Council in finding solutions to address these issues.
Survey takers will not be able to edit their responses once they have been submitted.
Are my responses anonymous?
Yes, all survey responses are completely anonymous. Your privacy matters to us, and there will be no email, web or contact information collected. However, if you would like to discuss your responses with the Council, do not hesitate to contact us via phone at 651-757-1742, or email at
anjuli.cameron@state.mn.us.
How are the results used?
The Council will gather all responses, analyze them for emerging trends, and then use the findings to help drive our work as the advisor to the Minnesota Legislature and the Governor’s Office. Our research staff will process the data collected from community responses to help guide our work for the next two years.
