Administered by the Town of Taos Fair Trade Steering Committee July/August 2008
Merchant/Organization Survey for inclusion in the Taos “Buy Fair, Buy Local” Directory.
This will be shared online and in print form with tourists as well as locals. It is a free directory (to you and to users) that will better enable customers to buy Fair Trade and locally produced goods and services, and locally grown items, in addition to patronizing those businesses and organizations that support these market orientations.
There is no obligation from you other than to honestly fill out the survey and return it to Steve Fuhlendorf at the Taos County Chamber of Commerce, Cathy Connelly at the Town of Taos Town Hall, or to any of the other Fair Trade Steering Committee members listed with this survey. Then, you’ll be considered for ‘membership’ in this new, unique directory. It should be popular – and actively used –by anyone seeking to “Buy Fair, Buy Local”.
