USER GROUP BEST PRACTICES: FEEDBACK FACILITATION
A common challenge for any user group is delivering on the wants and
needs of the membership. Gathering feedback from your members should be
at least an annual activity. You will stay in closer touch with what
their interests are and will be able to make your group's offerings a
greater value.

TMC SURVEY: SPEAKER EXPENSE QUESTION & SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP ANSWERS
To deliver an extra special event at least once or twice a year, many
groups have considered or successfully implemented programs where they
will pay a speaker's expenses, or even fees, to visit their group. Our
new TMC Survey question is: What speaker expenses would your group
consider paying?
