  • 1.  Survey on Academic Conference Participation

    Survey on Academic Conference Participation!

     

    This survey is part of a Professional Development Workshop being presented at the upcoming Eastern Academy of Management. The focus of the workshop is to discover why faculty members attend academic conferences. While conference participation is important for faculty development, shrinking university budgets may be putting travel to conferences in jeopardy. Consequently, faculty need to be more deliberate in the choice of conferences attended and the conference activities in which they engage. We would like to get a sense of why faculty members attend conferences so that we can develop strategies to maximize participants' conference objectives.

    Your candid responses would be very helpful to our session. We are sending this survey link to a variety of national listservs in order to obtain as wide a sample as we can of interested faculty members. Please help, if you can!

     

    Please respond by May 8, 2006. Completing the survey should take about 10 minutes-there are only 15 questions.

     

    Thanks so much,

    Don,

    You mention national listservers - this is an international listserver. Are you only interested in US responses?
