FSAE Luncheon Survey Results

Lunch SurveyThanks to all members that participated in our recent Luncheons Survey. We had over 100 Executive members and almost 50 Associates participate. Survey consensus is that TIME is the biggest factor in attending lunch events. Everyone is busier than ever and getting away from the office is more difficult. Budgets for professional development also impact attendability.

The majority (66%) of Exec-respondents are located in Tallahassee and the best times of the year in general to attend a lunch are Jan-March (60%) and October-December (62%). Additionally, 58% prefer the variety of frequent events over longer, more topic-specific events with the education provided being as an important factor.
