The SCA is us -- you and me doing what we do. But who are we, what do we 
do, and how can we support each other to make the SCA the type of 
organization we can be proud of?

The SCA 2010 Census committee has been asked by the Board of Directors to 
develop a census-level survey that will help us to address key issues 
facing the SCA. These issues  effect our everyday experience in the SCA; 
from "pay for participation" issues and award structures to quantitative, 
qualitative, motivational, and behavioral demographics such as age, 
gender, activities and interest areas, and reasons for joining, remaining 
in, and leaving the SCA.

Because this is a "census-level" survey, we are attempting to reach each 
and every SCA participant, regardless of whether or not they are paid 
members or are currently active. Everyone's voice is important to the 
success of this project.

This information will help us, as an organization, move forward into the 
next decade, to identify, address and work on current issues and gain a 
better, deeper understanding into what makes the SCA what it is today. 
Your responses to these questions will also help us create a plan for 
making the SCA better organization in the future. The only way we can 
understand what is important is by hearing from you.

The survey is completely anonymous, you will never be asked for 
information that will identify you.

The SCA 2010 Census Survey is available here:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SCA2010Census

The Survey will remain open until December 1st. Once the data collection 
is completed, the results of this survey will be made available on the SCA 
2010 Census website. All data that is collected or published will remain 
completely anonymous and will not be sold or shared beyond this survey's 
purpose.

If you would like to learn more about the SCA 2010 Census, if you have 
questions or ideas about the project, please contact the committee at 
scacensus2010 at sca.org.

Please take the time to fill out the survey. The voices of each and every 
participant in the SCA whether you are currently active or not,  will help 
us to better understand the SCA and enable us to grow and flourish as an 
organization.

Sincerely,

- - The SCA 2010 Census Committee
