UNDERSTAND THE CHANGING NEEDS OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP
Survey, Analyze, Adapt! Resulted In: Tocqueville on the RoadSurvey of membership in 2010 yielded
three distinct themes and one over-arching comment. Quotes follow:
“Work does not permit me to attend the day time events – do something in the evening hours outside of the downtown location.”
“Like the speakers at the lunches – wish there was more networking time.”
“Happy to write the check, why aren’t you using my brain?”
And throughout each of the these statements: want a stronger connection – “How can I plug in?”
An evening series outside of downtown that alternates between networking and deep dive sessions on specific topics.
