In January the committee membership changed over as the committee is appointed for the calendar year. The committee reviewed the standard questions asked on the evaluation forms each year and consulted with PPC, CPC, SSC, and the Executive Board in order to identify any needed updates to those questions. Low response rates last year for preconference and poster session evaluations were discussed. The committee decided to incorporate the separate forms for those sessions into the main conference evaluation form in an effort to increase the response rates.
In April the committee chair was trained on the ArcStone survey software. Due to some limitations with the software, the Executive Board approved the committee’s recommendation to continue to use SurveyMonkey for the evaluation forms in 2008. E&A will work with Donnice Cochenour and ArcStone on enhancements to the survey software so that it can be used in 2009.
In May the committee prepared the evaluation form. This year, the evaluation form will be online only and individuals filling out the evaluation will be eligible for a drawing to receive a free conference registration in 2009. A link to the form will be available on the conference website and announcements will be made via e-mail to remind conference attendees to fill it out. The due date for evaluations is July 1, 2008.
In late summer, the committee plans to develop a survey aimed at all NASIG members (not just those who attended the Phoenix conference) regarding conference attendance/non-attendance.
