2023 CAS Quinquennial Survey

[Ted_Hoffman]

Every five years, the CAS conducts a comprehensive survey of its members. The survey results provide the CAS leadership with valuable input from its members that will help to shape the short- and long-term direction of our Society.
CAS members will receive an email on October 2, 2023, inviting you to complete the CAS Membership Survey. The e-mail will be sent by Association Research, Inc., which is the vendor the CAS hired to assist with the survey.
The Membership Advisory Panel Task Force, which is managing the survey, encourages all CAS members to complete the survey by November 3, 2023.
We expect that the survey will take you no more than 30 minutes to complete. We are offering Amazon gift cards to five randomly selected respondents.
Thank you in advance for completing the survey, and for doing your part to help shape the future of the CAS.

1. Curious to see how the mood of the membership has changed over 5 years. (I was looking for a link to the results from the 2018 survey, but one didn’t jump out. The search function on the CAS website was especially unhelpful with this.)
2. Really curious to see how the survey gets spun in a positive way if the answers aren’t positive. (i.e., “there were a lot of negative answers, but we’re ignoring them because we don’t think they’re representative of membership as a whole [and since a lot of the membership didn’t bother to respond, we assume they’re happy with how things are going].”)
3. Anyone want to set an over/under on the response rate?
4. I just wanted an excuse to use quinquennial.
