Click for a printer-friendly version of this articleKnowing My Audience: What Do You Want From Your General Meetings?

by Peter Szabo, Incoming Program Manager
 

As the incoming Program Manager for our STC Southwestern Ontario Chapter, I want some input from you, our local members, about future general meetings.

Although there are opportunities for you to provide feedback at the meetings, this survey is a way for all members (whether you attend meetings or not) to tell me what you want.

Please provide me with some feedback to help me know my audience better.

I'll use your input to develop more relevant general meetings in the 2004-2005 chapter year. I'll also include the results of this survey in a future issue of The Quill.
