The INA's Membership Survey

General
1

If you’re an INA member, you very recently received a request to participate in a survey of our membership.

The email went out about 90 minutes before I wrote this post, and we already have about 20 responses. Not bad for late Sunday night on the west coast and really late on the east.

There’s a reason that I’m posting this, above and beyond encouraging the roughly 650 members who have not yet responded to do so.

There are going to be lots of ways to slice and dice the data that’s coming in. I’d really love to hear from people: what questions about your fellow owners has it triggered you to think about?

Are people interested in the mix of racers vs. cruisers? What an “average” N26 owner looks like? Which size boats have the most owners thinking about new engines? What’s the meaning of life? How much wood could a woodchuck chuck? Can you lend me $100 ‘til payday?

Some of those we can answer from the survey, some we can’t.

But if folks want to post what’d interest you most, that’d definitely help prioritize analyzing the results.

Where can I find the survey? Can it be sent back to me at nnwneiderer@gmail.com

Norm,

That appears to be the email address you used for becoming an INA member (I’ve got admin privileges, so I can see all sorts of things).

So you should already have gotten the survey by email to that address, since it was mass-emailed to all the INA members.

If it’s not in that email box, drop a note to PastPresident@Nonsuch.org (which, it turns out, is also me) and I’ll look into it.

I’m all signed in and after filling the first page of the survey, Survey Monkey won’t let me access the next page. I’m stuck, and don’t know what to do.
Cheers,
Norm

A couple of people have had problems with question #7. They seem to go away if you fill in the fields for that question with only numbers, no text.

If that turns out not to be your problem, Norm, would you mind shooting a note to PastPresident@Nonsuch.org with your phone number and some suggestions about good times for me to call you?

Bob,
Thanks for your help. You are right, it looks like an email problem. I signed in to INA with nnwneiderer@gmail.com
and the form comes under my original email address of neiderer@shaw.ca
Now, I must change it to the gmail address, but it’s not so easy. I wish I was a teenager instead of 81 years old, it would be done in two seconds.
Cheers,
Norm

If you have a lot of trouble changing it, Norm, contact Helen Dakin Membership@Nonsuch.org and ask her for help.

I wish I was a teenager, too, at least until I remember what I was like back then. If I was a teenager now, I’d have to whup myself upside the head and tell me to grow up.

Tried getting on to do the survey but the Monkey says it’s closed. Did I miss something or hit the wrong key?

Ed,

It should still be open. Could you have responded to an older copy I’d sent as a test to INA Board members?
