All previously taken surveys are eligible and will be included in the drawing. For complete rules: http://www.tu.org/2016-survey-contest-official-rules A little more than five years ago, Trout Unlimited conducted a survey of female members seeking guidance on how we were serving them as members, engaging them as leaders and providing them opportunities to be active participants in our community – at all levels of the organization. Since that time, and with significant effort from hundreds of volunteers across the country, TU's Women's Initiative has grown – and so have the number of female members and female leaders. Now, we are launching a new survey for all members with three distinct goals: • Highlight the history and success of the Women's Initiative, determine how broadly it is known and gauge if members feel that attitudes have changed for the better since it first started. • Compare and analyze responses from the original survey to determine perceived and real changes in TU over the past five years. • Discover what drives female members to join TU, why they stay, how well they are received locally and if they would consider serving as a local level leader. Please help us ensure a robust and diverse response to this survey – yes, all members, any gender, are being asked to take it – by clicking here to take the survey, and by sharing this survey link with your member network. Thank you for all you do to make TU a more open and inclusive community. Visit www.tu.org/women for more resources and ideas.
