The FY2007/2008 All-Member Survey closed on 31 March with our highest response rate ever. Thirty-six percent of EO members responded to this year’s survey— that’s 2,379 members and 300 more than in 2007! 
 
Check out how EO scored in these notable areas:
 

• Overall average value that respondents received from EO membership: 7.8  (The FY2007/2008 survey used a 0-10 scale, as opposed to a 1-10 scale in FY2006/2007. If we used last year’s scale, this number would be an 8.0!).
• Ninety-eight percent of members would recommend joining EO to another qualified business owner. That’s two percent more than in FY2006/2007.
• Eighty percent of members plan to remain in EO for at least three more years.
• Respondents rated the quality of their chapter members as an 8.0, one of the highest-rated areas.

Thanks to all of you who completed the survey, and thanks to the chapter officers and administrators who made sure that their members sent in their comments. Your efforts ensured that we can present chapters with a great tool to evaluate progress during the past year.  
 

The following are two resources available to chapters that are interested in conducting additional surveys of their membership:
 

• The Olinger Group designed and executed EO’s 2008 All-Member Survey and is owned by EO New Orleans member Jude Olinger.
• Critical Metrics has worked with several YPO chapters and also with EO New York chapter health surveys since 2005. Accelerator participant David Youssefnia owns Critical Metrics.
