SDAG Notes
Tuesday, 10/23/12
Went over big survey questions. Concerned with the length – need to make sure we aren’t asking
questions we can get from other sources. Check with IR to see if we need to be asking questions on
goal/program or can we access internally? Recommend we get rid of the satisfaction questions –
doesn’t really give us information we can use – old way of thinking. Cheryl will fix questions related to
knowledge of use of SEP. Need to add “W” questions and definition of withdrawal; need to add GS
specific question.
