CSO Feedback Survey January – February 2015
Survey Question (s)
Results Summary
Conclusions & Follow-up
Member Name
14 surveys submitted
10 were anonymous
Do you feel involved with the
Classified Staff Organization? If not,
would you like to be more involved?
10 yes
4 no – 3 of whom would like to be
more involved
What would help facilitate more
involvement in CSO?

CSO members like having a way to
voice their concerns without
directly contacting an officer.
While the questions on the survey
will be revised, we will continue to
provide this option for anonymous
feedback.
It is understandable that involved
members would want to share their
input, but it also is nice to see that
we have provided a way for less
involved members to share their
thoughts. This is a good reason to
continue to have a feedback option.
 It is difficult to schedule
meetings that everyone can
attend, but the Officers will
work to fit the majority of
schedules and we will suggest
to future officers that this issue
be continually reviewed.
 The CSO social will
essentially be a summer
meeting and the Recognition
Committee will go in to more
detail later on the agenda.
 We will work to post more
information to the webpage
and send more e-mails to
involve those who cannot
attend.

Would you like to see CSO
acknowledge its members more? If so,
what might you suggest?
Small staff and office coverage
is still the main issue
2 people suggested lunch time
meetings, but one person noted
that the idea was unsupported
in a survey of CSO last year
A summer meeting was
suggested
Collaborating with PSO &
Faculty to boost moral
Helping people remain in-theknow when they are unable to
attend meetings


Would you like to see CSO put a limit
on charitable donations?
8 – No, I think the donations CSO
has been making are fine.
We will continue to send
invites and will send reminders
the morning of a meeting.
These last two meetings have
been focused on direct CSO
business, but outside speakers
do add variety and we suggest
that future meetings include
more of them.
The officers have been
working to acknowledge CSO
birthdays and anniversaries.
We hope to have a more solid
strategy in place for next fiscal
year and the new officers.
We have the hardship form on
the website
6 - Yes
If so, how should CSO use its funds?

vote of CSO

discretion of the Recognition Committee

(people could select multiple options)

6 - Book Sale
3 – Other
(people could select multiple
options)
Do you feel that the current CSO
committees operate as they should
according to the bylaws?
If not what might be the best way to
realign duties?
10 -Yes
3 - No
Are there any changes in CSO . . .
(meetings socials how we communicate
decide on donations etc.) you would
like to see?
4 - Work to follow the current bylaws
1 - Create new committees
1 - Rewrite the bylaws
2- Other
To summarize, most CSO members
are fine with the donations we have
been making, but would like to
have more say in those donations.
Kristina Keener will be asking for
a vote on proposed donation in her
Treasurer’s Report.
There were suggestions for more
prizes for CSO members at
meetings and the social. We do
have door prizes today and will
take the suggestion that this might
increase moral and improve
attendance into consideration for
future meetings.
 The recognition committee
will be giving an update on the
spring raffle later in the
meeting.
 Those who are interested in a
book sale should contact the
Recognition Committee at the
beginning of the next fiscal
year to volunteer to help.
 There were no new
suggestions.
Your officers respectfully disagree
on how well the current bylaws are
functioning for CSO. There were a
few responses in the next question
that also indicated a need for
revisions. One suggestion was to
do a combination of rewriting the
bylaws and working to follow the
current bylaws and this seems in
the best spirit of what we think
needs to happen. Karen will be
presenting on this topic.
Many extended responses have
been covered in prior discussions.
Several comments indicated that
they felt general CSO membership
needed more say in decisions. We
will be working to provide more
communication and easier access
to information for those who
cannot attend meetings. We will
also work to call for votes on
things such as donations.
Final - I will post this review on the webpage. Karen, Amanda, and I will work to improve the
information passed down to future officers about survey such as these.
