Crafting an Effective Member Survey

We've talked about analyzing your society to begin implementing changes to programs, publications, bylaws, etc.  But it's usually not a good idea to change things just for the sake of change ... so how do you know what changes need to be made?

You ask.

Surveys don't have to be limited to your current members. You can use the internet and social media to your advantage and be able to reach specific demographics all over the planet, depending on the purpose of your survey.

Have any idea whether you'll use structured questions or open-ended questions? Do you know the best time to conduct a survey? What tools are the best for surveys? Guests Paula Hinkel and Taneya Koonce share their expertise on every aspect of designing, implementing, and analyzing a survey to provide the most "bang for your buck."
