On May 13th, 2010, a survey was emailed to all of our active members. The goal was to gather feedback on how we could improve our meetings and what types of speakers our membership were most interested in and to ask who was interested in leadership and committee positions. We had roughly a 13% response rate to the survey from those polled.
Of those responding, they had on average attended seven out of the twelve listed activities during the year which included monthly meetings, Tradefest, Dallas’ I-Day, the Golf Tournament and our Social at Joe T. Garcia’s.
Some of the comments were that several members were interested in more luncheons which offered Continuing Education Credits and that these needed to be more widely publicized in advance of the meetings. There was also a suggestion to have more structure to the meetings. A focus on having professional speakers from groups such as Toastmasters was suggested. In general, the responders enjoyed the mix of the speakers which included those from legal, regulatory, carrier and other industries throughout the year.
Increased attendance at the Social was also mentioned as a goal for next year so that we could get to know each other better. Having another industry-related group join in our social was requested so that we might reach out to more people who might be interested in starting their CPCU designation.
The names of those people that responded to being interested in serving as a leader or on a committee will be forwarded to the officers so they can make sure to include these volunteers.
If anyone has additional comments they would like included in the survey results, please feel free to email or call me.
Sincerely,
Anne Lydahl, Director
