CHAPTER SURVEY RESULTS
Here are the results of the chapter survey. A big thanks goes to all who filled out the
survey. Below are simply numbers, not
any interpretation of those numbers. If
you have any questions and/or comments about the results, please feel free to
comment below or contact the local board members directly:
·
64 out of 100 responded (64%) to the survey. On a side note, only 38 members voted in our
last board election so we consider this number high.
·
90% are Rocky Mountain GBW members.
·
10% are guild members who live in the
geographical boundaries but are not members of the Rocky Mountain Chapter.

Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana’s numbers are as such
that no graph is needed. Arizona, New
Mexico, Colorado, and Utah show varying results. Here are the charts:
5. Comment Section:
·
33 respondents skipped the comments, 30
commented.
·
4 comments were undecided: two did not like how the geography was split,
two were more worried about numbers/people willing to volunteer. One respondent stipulated that they would be
in favor of the split, if the split was grouping different states together.
·
14 comments voted yes: most did not like the largess of the
geography and commented about difficulty of travel, lack of activities across
all boundaries, etc. One was for a split,
but did not like the geography of the split.
·
11 comments voted no: three did not like the geography of the
split, others’ comments were more about strength in numbers, not believing that
a split will resolve issues, etc.
·
Those who commented are from the following
states:
Montana: 1
Wyoming: 1
Other: 1
Colorado: 7
Utah: 12
New Mexico: 5
Arizona: 3
·
The states with the smaller numbers and more on
the outskirts of the chapter mostly comment about disagreeing with the
geography of the split (especially New Mexico).
Six respondents from Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, and Arizona are ‘no’
or ‘undecided’ potentially because they don’t like the geography of the split
in question. In comparison, only two of
these comments mention the notion of ‘strength in numbers’.
·
Colorado’s reasons for staying together or
splitting are quite varied and only one of the seven mentions not liking the
geography of the split. Most tend to
lean towards the ‘strength in numbers’ argument.
·
Most of Utah’s reasons is size—not being able to
travel, liking things on a more local level, etc.
