This summer NEA's Constituencies Task Force (CTF) sent out a survey to identify the various constituent groups among the membership and among all relevant groups in the region. Our goal was to investigate NEA's needs for professional development and the exchange of ideas.

We are pleased to report that the CTF survey was a great success! The survey was filled out by 100 members and more than 200 non-members who answered questions on demographics, professional associations, professional development and NEA services.

For the survey directed to our members, we offered an incentive: the chance to win a free year’s membership in NEA. We are happy to announce the winner of the incentive was Mary LaBombard. Congratulations, Mary!

The survey results will inform the CTF's upcoming report on how NEA can reach out to the diverse array of organizations holding archival materials in New England, enlarge and broaden our membership base, and collaborate with related state-based associations to provide needed services to NEA constituencies.

If you have any questions, contact CTF co-chair, Tom Doyle at tdoyle@minlib.net.
