Thank you to all regulated members who provided feedback through the 2021 Member Survey. This biennial member survey structure was implemented in 2017; making the 2021 survey the third time the College has successfully delivered this type of feedback mechanism for regulated members.
All active, regulated members of the College were invited to participate in the three-week long survey opportunity that opened March 8 and closed at 12 am March 29. We are very pleased to report that once again more than 30% of members participated and provided more than 4,800 open-ended comments to the qualitative questions.
Statistically speaking, these results mean we can be 99% confident within +/-3% that the results of the survey accurately reflect the views of the membership as a whole. We are confident we can move forward with this information to help improve our plans and activities to reflect regulated member’s input.
We are working to compile all of the information and the categorize each and every one of the comments received throughout the survey. This will take a bit of time, but we will provide summary report of findings in an upcoming issue of The Pulse. In the meantime, here is some preliminary information from the quantitative questions.
