VoiceGR is an annual community survey conducted by Grand Valley State University's Dorothy Johnson Center for Philanthropy. The center says "it asks residents of the greater Grand Rapids area about their perceptions and opinions of where they live."How do survey results help government, business and philanthropic leaders make decisions for improving the community?

We talk with Jodi Petersen, Director of the Community Research Institute in the Johnson Center for Philanthropy at Grand Valley State University.
