The Community Careers and Compensation survey rolls on!
Jokes aside, research like this is critical to the work we do as an organization and to the community industry as a while; the more data we collect, the more comprehensive the final report will be.
So, if you have an extra five minutes (seriously, it’s short!) today please help us out and add your expertise.
Take the survey: https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2243158/3742
Oh – and a quick note about confidentiality and data:
Talking about money is uncomfortable. It’s personal. It’s also incredibly powerful information for the profession.
If we want communities to reach their potential, we need to do a better job of structuring the roles, responsibilities and compensation of those who run them. And we can’t do that without knowing what you are tasked with, how you got to where you are, and yes, how much you make for doing it – and ensuring the validity of that data by knowing who you are.
Here’s our pledge:
– We will never share individual survey data with anyone outside TheCR research team – ever. And that includes with other members of The Community Roundtable staff.
– We will never publish raw data or individual surveys. Ever.
– We immediately remove personal information from the raw data we are analyzing, so that the data we work with doesn’t include your personal information.
– We also only ask for your salary range, rather than your exact compensation, as we balance the need for accurate data with the desire to respect your privacy.
If you have questions about the survey after you take it – ask us. Our business – like communities themselves – is based on trust, and we want to make you feel as comfortable sharing your data with us as possible.
THANK YOU!!!
