MEMBERSHIP SURVEY

As a member of the Sacramento Orchid Society (SOS) we kindly ask that you take a few minutes to fill out the THREE surveys below.  The first two are quick and easy and you can see the results immediately!

 

The second survey is a comprehensive survey of our membership, asking you about why you're a member and what you like best about coming to the meetings.   Please help us out by taking a few minutes to fill it out so that the Society can better serve you as a member.  This survey will also be available at the April general meeting. 

 

All information is ANONYMOUS and will be submitted first to the board of directors then the membership.
