TECHNOLOGY

In addition to email, Zoom, Microsoft Word and Excel, and Google drive, members of this team will be using SurveyMonkey, an online survey tool, to design and conduct the survey. Prior familiarity with this software is not required but self-motivated training in the basics is encouraged. Tutorials and one-on-one assistance are available.

TIME COMMITMENT

We encourage a two-year commitment: one to engage and learn, and the second to teach a successor. The Survey team is active in late November/December (survey design) and in February/March (analysis and reporting). There are 1-2 busy weeks in the design phase during which team members can expect to commit 2-10 hours depending on their availability.
