[Membership-affairs] Seeking your feedback on a membership engagement survey

Mon Feb 2 01:51:17 CET 2015

Hi Walid,

I would like questions regarding why people joined NCSG (and NCUC), what
are their interests (it will help to match people with topics and get
involved them more efficiently), what they want to achieve exactly (fellows
are encouraged to join a  group, for professional goal etc), and I do agree
about checking for time commitment to get involved and go through learning
curve. we can spend a lot of efforts on webinars, material, mentorship but
if people cannot spend so much time to use them, we have to question about
the "ROI" and find a better way. I will be happy if we find "personas" from
this survey and respond to the needs of each one.

I also heard about mailing traffic, I would like to know what are the
expectation about the information shared there and if they would like to
use more extensively spaces like the wiki (ncsg.is) to get updated.

Best,

Rafik
