* Anna (via email): I'd like to put together a survey for community input on EBC's 2014 direction to help inform our discussions at our Board Retreat in Nov. This could be sent in the Oct newsletter. I've [https://docs.google.com/a/edmontonbikes.ca/forms/d/1uhnxtJ_A8HtAcrzj4rJr5kNZ225flEws2rt0TDZE-Aw/edit drafted a few questions]... please edit/comment as you see fit. Unless anyone has objections, I'll send a final survey to Chris for the next Member Newsletter. | * Tabled from October...

* Update for November - Anna: the above draft should be reviewed to align with the discussion at the Board Retreat about Strategic Planning. Our January 31-Feb 1 workshop could be informed by results from this survey, so what do we want to know? | |||
* Chris: Before we send this out, I think we should probably have a clear written idea stating what we actually want to find out and why, and what we plan to do with the information we receive. Without that, we're just making up interesting questions, when what we really want should be information that will help us make specific decisions. We may not necessarily know yet what those specific choices are going to be, but if we start off with a sample set of decisions that we currently have or suspect we will likely face, I think we can focus our survey questions a bit better. Especially wasteful is getting a bunch of feedback and not knowing what to do with it, or simply ignoring it. | * Chris: Before we send this out, I think we should probably have a clear written idea stating what we actually want to find out and why, and what we plan to do with the information we receive.
