INK 12: 24 things Committees can Learn from Our Engagement Survey
Posted by Geoff James
{01} Board
• Significant interest in protocols – maybe hold a club assembly on what is stale or what can be added? (Is a Strat. Plan item)
{02} Administration
• 39% want to give presentations to members – build into program? e.g. Ink Spots, State of Industry talks?
• 25% like setting up for meetings – part of set up team?
• 32% want to plan fun activities – a Fun team?
{03} Program
• Strong interest in more fun event meetings e.g. snooker, shooting etc.
• Strong interest in visits to other clubs
• Strong interest in regular breakfast meetings
{04} Membership
• Whilst most say “engaged”, over 10% under-engaged - we need to tap this energy
• At least 1 member unhappy – are we aware?
• Strong interest in more education for members – Ink Spots? Fire-side chats? Active mentors?
{05} Promotion
• 36% want to plan promotional activities – need to tap their ideas
• Interest in having more people involved in club promotions – look wider than committee?
• At least 5 photography lovers – let’s use them
{06} Fundraising
• Strong interest in more fundraising programs – justifies this committee
{07} Community
