Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Received the email from SASS today and within that email is a satifaction survey. THIS (imo) is a huge step in opening the channels of communication between the rank and file and SASS leadership. I encourage everyone to fairly and respectfully share their input. Pro or Con. No bashing or abuse (or disingenuous gushing about perfection) - but just honest feedback that provides ideas for consideration. Obviously we are all on a spectrum of where we think SASS is, where it is heading and what may be needed. But ultimately; we all love the game or we wouldn't be here - remember that when you provide your feedback. We all have passion for our ideas; but we must remember the person on the other side has the same passion for their view and at the end of the day, we are all on the same side. I will do my very best to abide by my own advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I am glad to see that as well. I scanned through the questions, but haven't filled it out yet. Want to think on things a bit so I can give answers that I hope will provide some useful feedback. Kudos to SASS, this is very refreshing to see.

Matthew Duncan Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I filled out the survey without written comments. Clicked to send the survey and nothing happen. I’ll have to see what I did wrong, perhaps fill it out on the desk computer instead of the iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stupid enough to type long comments, guess I wasted my time. I’m definitely not writing all that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I had a successful submission, including my written comments. I hope SASS publishes a summary of key feedback and an action plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Mine did not send because I skipped one question, and the question must be filled out in number of choice of EACH way to be contacted...first choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice. After correcting, my survey was accepted. Hardpan had posted on this as well...so we have double thread going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question where you had to rank the answers by priority, on the first attempt I only picked one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question that has the boxes beside with ... or 1 or 2 or 3...that has to be checked EACH ONE with preference...that is most likely what is causing the issue.

Doc Shapiro Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I filled it out, but there are questions I just don't know how to answer. "What do you like best about SASS"? What exactly is that asking about? The organization? The rule framework? Local clubs? The game in general? I had a lot to say about the state of the "game" and the rules. But I don't really have anything to offer about the org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to claim any insight - but I would think that any input that is going to the SASS HQ would be best served addressing the things that HQ has "control" of. Rules changes Publicity on a national/ worldwise basis Thoughts about ongoing communication channels Other avenues to explore at a national/ world wide level Branding expansion Etc. The attributes (positive or negative) of our local clubs are minimally affected by SASS itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misty Misty, mine was rejected from not filling out the section that " how do you prefer to recieve information, updates..." I only chose one box... Not understanding you are asking fir first, second and third choice... Once I went back and realised and corrected it, my survey was accepted. I had also skipped a question. I would gather that is what is happening to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 More credit where credit is due. I have been very vocal about the lack of SASS leadership interaction on the wire for a LOT of years. As a matter of fact, prior leadership specifically stated they didn't watch the wire nor did they care about the opinions expressed. I was also vocal about hoping this would change with the changing of the guard and exit of the remainders of the original board. The Satisfaction survey is a welcome item - but even more impressive is the very appreciated presence of Misty interacting within this thread. This gives me hope that our complaints, compliments, ideas and dreams that we share on the wire are not going unnoticed. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
