>Dear list-serv members,
>
>The Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC) 
>has designed a survey to gather opinions about SPNHC from our colleagues 
>who are not SPNHC members.   Please excuse any cross-posting since we are 
>intentionally circulating this widely.
>
>In 2006, a sessional committee on Long-Range Planning was formed. One of 
>the committee's charges was to develop and conduct a survey of the SPNHC 
>membership to learn more about its composition and membership perception 
>of the society.   This survey has been distributed to our membership.   A 
>companion survey was also created to help SPNHC understand how other 
>members of the collections community perceive SPNHC and the activities in 
>which we are involved.  The survey is anonymous and consists of 18 
>questions which should take 5-10 minutes to complete.
>
>Please visit: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=563253506155
>
>...and complete the survey by April 21; we plan to tabulate the results 
>and report significant findings to the SPNHC membership at the Annual 
>Meeting in May.
>
>If you work with natural history collections, we would very much 
>appreciate your time in taking our survey.  The feedback we receive will 
>help formulate the future directions of the society.
>
>
>Thank you for your time!

>Sincerely,
