The OPCAAW Board values member opinions about the operations and future direction of the organization. We appreciate your participation in this survey regarding meeting attendance.

Meeting Attendance Survey
Meeting Attendance Survey
COVID has changed our lives and our routines.

Since the beginning of 2020, OPCAAW has increased membership by about 33 percent, but attendance at our meetings is down about 33 percent.

Obviously, COVID has changed our behavior and our routines. But as we have emerged from the worst of the pandemic, it appears that our new normal has translated into significantly less in-person engagement in our club meetings.

This survey is to help us understand why attendance has dropped off and whether there is anything the club can do to encourage more of you to come to our meetings. The survey should not take more than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for helping us make the club better.
