Notes

I thought the idea of a survey came up in the context of wanting to know whether

it would be worthwhile doing two collaborative services per year. That makes it

important in our cover notes or newsletter articles for us to say that feedback

is as valuable from those who didn’t attend as those who did.

If the goal is to find out whether there’s interest in an added joint service,

my inclination would be to find out how many services people have attended (not

just this year’s), what draws them or what prevents them from joining us, and

whether they’d welcome a second collaborative service in the fall.

I’d also be interested to know is people would find it easier to attend our

established service if we nudged it up to May. June is so busy, and attendance

in Belfast drops by then. (In Castine, it probably rises, yes?)

If we’re going to run any correlations, it would be helpful to know to which

congregation the respondent belongs. (It would also be interesting for the

ministers and CMT reps to have responses from their congregation—those might

yield insights into what messaging would encourage participation.)

Regarding open-ended or multiple choice questions, it takes more time to write

than to check boxes, and so we might have a better response rate with multiple

choice. In Belfast we generally have a 65-80 percent response rate. Let’s say

only a third of each congregation responds; that would still be ~110 responses.

If we make them open-ended, that’s a lot of responses to compile, it makes it

harder to see and quantify themes, and it would be cumbersome to run responses

by congregation or any cross-tabulations. So you can see my opinion plainly. :-)

When I mentioned testing a questionnaire, I meant putting it in what we think is

final form, asking 3-4 people from each congregation to take it, and then

looking at their answers on-line and seeing what questions don’t work as well as

we thought and where we might be to amend the choices. I’ve run several

readership surveys and three of other natures, and each time the test group

revealed glitches that none of us on the “inside” saw.

My 2¢ worth. Let’s talk tomorrow if we can (I have a noon meeting in Blue Hill),

and if we agree on that path, I can draft multiple choices.

I'm not totally sure what this should look like. On the one hand, it would be

really easy to setup something like mailchimp. But I also like the

sustainability of a simpler mailing lists where folks can subscribe and

unsubscribe.

I think I might hit up EMWD to setup a list for this purpose.

Once I start getting paid, i'm going to setup a mailing list:

news@lists.selectperson.me

The last bit will be to advertise that the list exists. It will cost $15/mo and

will be a service I provide as the board chair.

We can also automate pieces of this to cross post to Facebook, Mastodon and the website.

Should Shawn have access to post to this list?

Journal

Got another early jump on the day today. With my new job taking place with a lot

of EEST and EST folks, I think I'm gonna try to get into a groove of working

from 7:30 to 3:30 on a regular basis. This should make soccer season easier to

swing, and also make helping out with kids easier too.

I was already able to help Krystian by moving a Monday meeting from 9 to 8 to

accomodate his schedule more.

I also made sourdough waffles for breakfast this morning, which was absolutely

delicious and easier to pull together than non-sourdough.

Spent some time at town hall, and actually managed to get email in Emacs pretty

well figured out. There's still a bug with notmuch searching, but sending emails

is pretty painless, and I can received my 15Five gmail in Emacs too, so that's

quite the win.
