@JiggyPete please feel free to steal questions from our Boston survey if you like them (see end of this packet): https://drive.google.com/a/protocol.ai/file/d/1IhOF-N5MJH0D_QpZqJNqoJe5oVAUUdIk/view?usp=drivesdk

To increase the response rate we used paper surveys and built time into the schedule to fill them out. We did our family photo, then got everyone settled back into their seats as we did thank yous, then asked them to focus on the survey that was at the end of their resource packet. Doing this last meant that somebody with lots of feedback to share wouldn’t feel they were holding up others.

You’ll see that a couple of our questions are unique because we intend to hold some shorter gatherings throughout the year and wanted to choose focus areas.

One of our challenges as an organizing team is a bit of homogeneity, which leads us not to be incredibly familiar with what local groups we should reach out to to encourage a diverse audience to attend. We added a question to the survey about what we could do to recruit a more diverse audience next year, which led some to suggest specific meetups we hadn’t known about previously.

We also added a question about whether people would be interested in organizing, speaking, or mentoring next year. This question of course requires contact info, so we put in on a separate page attendees could rip off to protect the anonymity of the rest of their feeedback. Hopefully we now have a pool to draw from to create a more diverse leadership team to in turn encourage a more diverse audience next year.
