* Update | |||
** Based on a couple sources of volunteer surveys, created more professional survey | |||
** Presented on demographics who are more likely to volunteer, motivations and barriers to volunteering | |||
** Walked board through updated volunteering survey through both streams (of volunteering and not volunteering) | |||
* Discussion | |||
** Purpose of the survey is to gather perspectives of EBC members to see what motivators or barriers | |||
** Survey questions should gather results that would be actionable; how would the results of the first several pages be actionable? Motivators can help to target and retain volunteers, and work to reduce barriers | |||
** Survey is not only designed to find volunteers. We're looking to gather information on the motivators and barriers to volunteering to get more volunteers in the door. | |||
** Some people may just have no interest in volunteering. Possibility of screening those people out (given no time, confidence, and life constraints). | |||
** Demographic questions should go to end. Ask more involved questions at the beginning. | |||
** Consider what final report will look like | |||
** Try to get respondents to tell stories at the outset to get them engaged in the survey | |||
** Given impending end of Karli's internship, she'll meet with Geoff and Jon to work on the survey | |||
