[Membership-affairs] Dismal survey response rates

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi,

Along with sending out reminders, it may also be a good idea to extend the deadline for submitting responses a little.

Although this group’s been in quite a bit of dialogue involving creating the survey, the rest of the members haven’t been as engaged. A combination of a campaign to get members to respond along with a little bit of a deadline extension may be helpful.

Thanks.

Amr
