Test Membership Survey Results
On March 6th we sent an email looking for you to respond to a test email survey , it had been suggested that when the Chamber is doing a membership survey to assist the Public Policy Committee and Board in making a decision on whether or not to take a position on an issue with impact on the business community, we should try an electronic format to gauge whether or not that increases members engagement. We thought now would be a good time to test an electronic survey before we need to do a real survey for a proposed position.

View the results below. We sent this out to 461 main contacts and received 85 responses, which is an 18.44% response rate. Members were only allowed to vote once.
