Question Title

* 1. Of the last five annual State Meetings (2013-2017), how many have you attended?

Question Title

* 2. If you have attended fewer than five of the last five meetings, what reason(s) contributed to not being able to attend? (Please choose all that apply)

Question Title

* 3. State Meetings have typically been held in early June in recent years, but we now have the flexibility to hold the meeting anytime between May 1 and August 31. Which month(s) of the year are better for you to be able to attend? (Please choose all that apply.)

Question Title

* 4. State Meetings have typically been held over a three-day period (Wednesday PM to Friday AM, plus board meetings), but there has been some discussion about condensing the schedule into two days. Which meeting length would you prefer: 2 days, 3 days, or doesn’t matter? (Please briefly explain why.)

Question Title

* 5. State Meetings have typically begun on Wednesday and ended on Friday, but we now have the flexibility to begin on a different day of the week. Which day of the week for beginning the meeting would provide the best opportunity for you to attend?

Question Title

* 6. We have tried to rotate the State Meeting to a variety of locations around the state to encourage the involvement of every District and allow our members to visit new and different churches they may not otherwise visit regularly or at all. Because of the large area of our state, however, that makes traveling to some locations difficult, and some Districts with fewer churches do not host meetings as frequently as Districts with more churches. Would a change in our approach to site selection increase the likelihood of your attendance, and if so, what change(s) would you recommend?

Question Title

* 7. Our typical meeting program includes two evening worship services, a ministry/preaching conference, WAC business and missions service, two short business sessions (national reports and state business), and board meetings. Other activities and sessions have also been scheduled periodically (e.g., youth activities, additional ministry conference, pastors’ summit, fellowship meals sponsored by host church and/or WAC). What changes, if any, to these sessions would you recommend, and why? Are there types of sessions we have not held before that you would recommend adding, and why?

Question Title

* 8. What other changes to our State Meeting programs, schedules, locations, or structure would you suggest that would make it easier for you and others like you to attend on a regular basis, and why?
