The Survey is out! The Survey is out!

I'm so excited! The giant Local Group Service & Funding survey went out today to... get this... TEN THOUSAND members!

We expect to get data about what members expected and need and want from their Local Groups. We also intend to gather information about what members want from local newsletters, what prevents them from participating more actively, how children and economic status impact their participation and requirements, and probably lots of other interesting things we will be able to correlate.

No more of these nebulous "ten percent of members are active" assumptions. If we want to improve Mensa, we need to have facts, not anecdotes and conjectures and opinions from only active leaders. And from there, we can revise what is asked of Local Groups and how AML supports those efforts.

No more working backwards by asking what LGs do and how much money does it cost. Instead, we're asking members what they want from LGs and then we'll figure out how to make that possible.

So, my question for my readers is this: what surprises do you think the results will reveal about members and what they want from Local Groups?
