[D-plan-net] National Planning Committee Survey - Action Requested!

[hamiltjc]

28 October 2007

To: District Planning Network Members

From: R/C William M Bellinger, SN - Chair, National Planning Committee

 

 

Summary

The National Planning Committee would like to offer every squadron member
the opportunity to provide input to the organization, through the National
Planning Committee, by participating in a short, online survey.  We need
your help to extend this offer, and, there will be something special for the
district with the highest percentage of respondents!

 

 

Action

We ask that the District Planning Committee Chair (or another officer
assigned by the D/C) send an invitation to participate in the survey to each
squadron commander as soon as possible with the request that they in turn
distribute it to their members.

 

To make this easy, the attached document contains a brief invitation to
participate in the survey with the online "link" on which members can
"click" to take the survey embedded in the invitation.  Send it to your
squadron commanders and ask them to send it via email to as many squadron
members as possible.  Distributing the "link" electronically is, for obvious
reasons, preferred.  As a less desirable alternative, squadron commanders
can publish the information (the "link") in the next issue of their squadron
newsletter.  The link itself is as follows:

Planning Committee Survey
(http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=tozUmx10Vy6ebPmUI15Jbw_3d_3d)

 

Another idea that might be fun, and could be done in addition to sending the
survey by email, would be to set up a laptop computer on the registration
desk at upcoming squadron events, or at your next district event!  (Note:
You'll need an Internet connection.)

 

Simply put, the goal is to get the invitation and "link" to as many members
as possible!

 

 

Background

Attendees who visited the National Planning Committee booth at the expo held
in conjunction with the recent Governing Board meeting in Norfolk were given
the opportunity to fill out a short, paper-based survey similar to the one
we are offering online.  C/C Ernie Marshburn, SN, filled out the first one.
While over 10% of the Governing Board meeting attendees filled out the
survey, many of those who did were on national committees or repeatedly
attend national meetings.  So, the results could be considered somewhat
biased.  The National Planning Committee is interested in a broader
perspective that can be obtained through greater survey participation.

 

To get greater participation, we've developed an online survey using the
"Survey Monkey" website.  Members need only "click" on the hyperlink
provided and the survey will appear.  The survey will only take members a
few minutes to complete, and it is pretty easy.

 

The National Planning Committee thanks you in advance for your expeditious
help in this matter.  And, as always, please send your comments and
suggestions to us by replying to d-plan-net at usps.org.

 

Regards,

 

R/C William M Bellinger, SN, PlanCom Chair

Members of the National Planning Committee
