Seeking Approval to Conduct a Survey of Current and Prospective Members about Chapter Meetings
• Plan to use SurveyMonkey• Questions:
– How often do you attend chapter meetings?– If not often, what prevents you from being more active?– What presentation topics would be of interest to you?– If the chapter meetings were conducted at lunch time,
would you be able to attend more often?– What source do you use to find out information about
chapter meetings?– What other information would you like to see on the
website?– What industry do you work in?– What’s your role within your organization (e.g., Proposal
Manager)?
