Fwd: WSBA Membership Demographic Study Research Update - Focus Groups in June

[Jonathan Ko]

Hi... I don't know how many of you tried to participate in this focus group, but it was delayed. It looks like it's going to be happening in June. If you can make it that would be great.

 

 

Hello,

 

The WSBA is working with Kno-Why, a research consultancy, to conduct a Membership Demographic Study. The study began with a member-wide survey conducted last summer/fall. The consultant is now organizing six focus groups to hear stories and perspectives that will inform and provide context and nuance to the survey data. You can learn about the study and the focus groups in this research update here which includes information about:

• Why we’re doing the study and what will be done with it
• How the study is being conducted
• Highlights of what we learned from the membership survey
• Why we’re trying to collect qualitative data through focus groups
• Details on dates/times for six different focus groups

 

We are inviting WSBA members who identify with any of the following groups to sign up to join a focus group (you can learn more about why these focus groups in the research update):
