[nfbwatlk] Survey: Spring Leadership Seminar

[Mike Freeman]

Hi, all.

Even if you don't get around to responding to the survey below by the 
deadline, we want to hear from you. So, as Lawrence Welk used to say: 
"Keep those cards and letters coming!" -- figuratively, anyway.

  Fellow Federationists,



  Believe it or not, February is almost upon us, which means that our 
annual
  Spring Leadership Seminar is also on its way. Below, you will find a 
short
  survey that will play a major part of planning the agenda for this
  conference. In other words, by answering these questions, you'll be a
  fundamental part of creating an agenda that's informative, innovative,
  creative, and fun. So, let's get to it then.



  Your Past Experiences



  1. Think about all of the leadership seminars that you've attended 
both
  inside and outside of the Federation. These might include team 
building and
  personal growth seminars, ropes courses, Federation seminars and
  conferences, and work-related activities. What worked? In other words, 
what
  activities and discussions gave you some food for thought and/or left 
a
  significant impression on you? Why? Can you briefly explain the 
procedure
  for these activities/discussions?
  2. Again, think about the leadership seminars you've attended. What
  didn't work? What activities and discussions do you feel could have 
been
  left out or changed to be more interesting and thought provoking?
  3. What activities would you like to see in our Spring Leadership
  Seminar? What activities do you hope not to see on our agenda?



  Our Affiliate



  1. What strengths do you feel our affiliate possesses as a whole?
  Examples might include anything from strong leadership to innovative
  programs.  Feel free to write anything you can think of.
  2. What things could we work on to improve in our affiliate? Again, 
the
  array of possible answers is broad.
  3. Now, think of your chapter. What strengths and areas for 
improvement
  do you see on a local level?



  Chapter/Affiliate development



  1. What information do you see as being extremely valuable for every
  leader in our affiliate? This might include philosophy, history, 
chapter
  building, fund raising, and/or obtaining public awareness of the NFB. 
How
  would you like to see these issues discussed in our seminar?
  2. On a personal level, what leadership skills and abilities would you
  like to develop? Is there a way our seminar can help you to develop 
these
  skills? Skills and abilities range anywhere from mentoring to public
  speaking.
  3. Are there any skills of blindness that you'd be interested in
  learning/reviewing such as carrying a tray in a cafeteria, dealing 
with the
  public, or basic cane technique?,
  4. Do you have any questions regarding the National federation of the
  Blind, our chapters and affiliate, or our philosophy? What other 
questions
  would you like to see answered in our leadership seminar?



  Final Comments?



  Many thanks for your participation in this survey. All of your answers 
will
  be compiled and arranged to meet the needs and interests of our 
membership.
  Please send your answers to me off list by e-mailing them to
  blindjedi at clearwire.net. Ideally, I would like to have your responses 
by
  7:00 pm on Friday, January 25th.



  Most Respectfully,

  Jedi
