Strategic Plan

Former Member Survey Preliminary Results

Below you will find preliminary results of the Former Member Survey sent a few weeks ago in preparation for the Strategic Plan process. When we sent the survey, we indicated the results will remain confidential. So we are aware of that as we share these results.

Below you will find for each question, the bar graph results, the “Answer Choices” responses in percentages and actual number of responses.

We quickly looked at comments and grouped many of them to create themes. This was not a rigorous process. We are sharing the data in this fashion to give you a general sense of the replies. We will look at the data in more depth later.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact our Administrative Director, Marcia Hodges at marcia.hodges@sfcp.org.
