Piast Institute is still conducting a comprehensive survey of the Modern Polish American Community

Hamtramck, Michigan – More than 900 people from 35 states have already filled out the Survey of Modern Polonia conducted by the Piast Institute. Are you one of them?

Piast Institute, a National Institute for Polish and Polish-American Affairs, would like to remind American Polonia about its online survey. The goal of this project is to find out more about the attitudes of Polish Americans of all generations in regard to key public issues, their ideas for the future of our community and their feelings about the values that should motivate Polonia.  The survey is one of a series the Piast Institute is doing to help our community understand itself and provide direction for those who lead Polish Organizations.  It will also help them to speak with confidence that they are acting in accord with our views.

The Polish American Community draws on the rich traditions of the Polish History and culture and the experience of more than seven generations as a community in America.  Both of these heritages provide us with a unique perspective that can add much to the public dialogue on national and international affairs.  Our voice deserves to be heard in the public arena and in the halls of power.

Are you interested in what are the Polonia attitudes towards immigration reform, the health care reform, or the War in Afghanistan? Do you want to express your opinion on the future of the Polish community and the most pressing issues facing it? If you answered yes, you still have time to act.

We invite every Polish American from new immigrants to those of third or later generations to participate.  To make your voice heard go to piaststudy.blogspot.com and click on the link. The questionnaire has 49 questions and is completely anonymous.

The information from the survey will be compiled in a form of a report, which will become available to all interested parties. To make sure that you receive an update on the report, email info@piastinstitute.org and ask to be put on the Piast Institute’s mailing list.
