The Board of the Squamish Windsports Society has created a short (less than 3 minute) survey. As you'll see, we're looking for feedback from members (and non-members) about the SWS and general operations at the Spit. We're really hoping that the results of this survey provide the Board with some guidance and direction on the issues that matter most to the members.
Our plan is to collect responses, see if there are any big trends and do our best to address the issues.
Most of the questions are multiple choice, but there are also a few opportunities to make comments. If you feel strongly about how the SWS operates (good or bad), please use the comments to let us know.
As this is the first time we've done something like this, we're using this Kiteboard BC forum as a beta-test for the survey. If you run into any technical issues, let us know in this thread or by PM and we'll fix it. We'll do an email-blast to all members once we're comfortable everything is working properly.
Well, I think the beta test of the survey went really well! We've had 87 page views and about 25 new responses. A LOT of really terrific constructive feedback. I'm looking forward to seeing even more responses when we launch the survey out to the entire membership.
Stay tuned for more updates and a summary later on in the season.
Just to avoid any confusion over names ... from the last post it might appear that I'm the new SWS Communications Director, but no, it's another fine volunteer of the same name. (He's not yet listed on the SWS website.)
And thanks again to everybody on the forum who helped out with this beta test. Most of you will now see the official email blast out from the SWS in your inboxes. You don't need to do the survey again if you've done it from here.
The survey went out to more than 1000 people! Now hopefully the responses will really start to come in! Looking forward to reviewing the final results and sharing any big conclusions with everybody.
Once again, I'm going to use the forum for a beta test. The following link is to the SWS' August Newsletter, most of which summarizes the results from the survey from last month.
Hey staff, I just read the report on the survey. Impressed by the content and tone of the report. Thanks for providing so much detail and for being so willing to address peoples' comments. Very professional, good job.
