[Membership-affairs] Dismal survey response rates

Thu Mar 12 17:51:22 CET 2015

The post (slighlty teaked) is here: http://www.ncuc.org/ncuc-is-surveying-its-members-please-participate/

It can also be posted right next to the slide show, if so desired.

I have tweets scheduled till tomorrow night. Please re-tweet. They are 4 per day, every 6 hours, (23:59, 6am, 12pm, 6pm, Amsterdam time). It might not be the best way to reach potential responders, but visibility to an initiative of this kind cannot hurt!

Thanks for the suggestion Stefanie. Below is a two liner. Feel free to copy edit and tidy them up as you see fit:

NCUC's membership affairs team has formulated and distributed a survey in early March 2015 to elicit feedback from NCUC members on ways to improve engagement. The survey's findings are expected to help formulate policies and steps to improve inreach efforts and enhance community participation in the various NCUC activities.

Sincerely,

Walid

One morepoint: there is no mention of the survey on the NCUC website.

Shall we write a tiny entry? it cannot hurt.
Maybe you, Walid, write a two-liner and add the link, and I can put it online.

Thanks Stefania for catching those errors. It's amazing how everyone
missed them until now :)

I've removed the duplicate entry but left the EC option as it
shouldn't be a problem to have people answering. Maybe EC folks have
some interesting things to say :)

As for analysis, I surely hope we'll do some regression analysis but
only if we have at a high enough response rate. So far, we only have
21.

Sincerely,

Walid
