Abstract:
:The 1993 survey is the first step in a planned, systematic method of eliciting members' opinions, demographic information, and program preferences. The data collected will be used to analyze current programs and services and plan for the future. There are limitations to survey research. Questions may be deleted accidentally or worded in such a way that respondents answer them incorrectly. In this survey, there were limitations in the questions pertaining to salary. Respondents were not asked to identify if they were employed full time or part time when they selected salary ranges. Even with these limitations, the respondent population appears to be of sufficient size to ensure a validity in the 95% range.
