AMIA’s 2021 Fall Conference / Community Survey

The AMIA Board and staff are looking ahead to the Fall Conference and would like to better understand how our community is feeling with regards to traveling to El Paso, Texas to attend an in-person conference in November 2021. We ask you to please fill out the following brief survey, which will take you about 3-5 minutes to complete.

The first section includes questions about traveling to the conference. The second section is a general community survey to help us better understand our constituency. The results will remain anonymous and will help the board and staff make informed decisions about our fall conference as well as give us a better understanding of who we currently serve.

We will announce whether the conference will be in-person or virtual no later than June 1, 2021.

Questions preceded by an orange asterisk * must be answered in order to submit the survey. The survey has been extended to May 2, 2021. If you have any questions about this survey, please email amia@amianet.org.

Thank you,
The AMIA Board of Directors + Staff
