Stakeholder Survey 2002

Archives: eZine / Review Survey

Dear Friend of Alternatives:

Thank you for sharing our dream of helping people live justly and celebrate responsibly. We need your opinions and comments, as we seek to continue providing quality resources and services.

Answer as much of this brief questionnaire as you choose. Then return by May 1st. Please do it now if at all possible. Including your name is optional.

Thanks for your cooperation! To show our appreciation, we will send all responders a $5 gift certificate. One response per person please.

If your household has more than one person interested in Alternatives (a stakeholder), please copy the survey and respond separately.

Peace,

Gerald Iversen, National Coordinator

2. In regard to an annual report from Alternatives, including financial data...

I would definitely appreciate receiving/having access to such a report.

I would scan such a report but it's not a high priority.

3. I have read [approximate number] editions of "Whose Birthday Is It, Anyway?" in the last five years (1997-2001). I have read editions of "Whose Birthday" in the last 16 years (1986-2001).


4. The part of "Whose Birthday" that I usually find the most useful:

Biblical Reflections

Advent-Christmas calendar

needs to be more child oriented.

Just Say NO... to Easy Credit

Simplify or Die!

21. In regard to the free New Alternatives Quarterly Review (e-zine) on the web site at http://SimpleLiving.org/Review/Review.php

The idea of an e-zine does not interest me.

I have viewed Issue #1 and

would definitely view future issues.

It would be a real benefit also to have the text sent by email to members.
