Note
(rest day)
I received a call from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health asking a set of anonymous survey questions about my health. I enjoy participating in these sorts of surveys, and I hope the data is revealing about the problems the US currently faces. I asked, and while this survey was conducted by MA, it is being run nationwide by the appropriate entities. I suspect the survey was this guy.
I wonder if doing surveys within an orienteering club or by the national federation would be a good way to profile its membership. It would be somewhat straightforward to compare the NEOC membership list to the list of results from A-meets to determine how many NEOC members are going to A-meets, e.g., but understanding what members are looking for on the schedule, where their interests lie, and what motivates them to go to events would be revealing. Barb proposed this idea to the Board in 2011, but it never materialized for somewhat ambiguous reasons.
