Calling All Canadian Not-for-Profits to Participate in the ARC's inaugural Canadian NFP Social Media Pulse Study - FREE results for participants.

Whether you have a full-scale strategy in place, or don’t use it at all, social media is probably something that’s been on your radar. Because of its relative newness and the rapid rate at which it is integrating itself into the way we work, play and live, associations today have a number of questions about this growing phenomenon: Is the not-for-profit sector using social media? What online spaces are they in? How do they measure success?

To help answer some of these questions, the Association Resource Centre is pleased to invite you to participate in the inaugural Canadian Not-for-Profit Social Media Pulse Survey.

This exciting new initiative will poll Canadian not-for-profit organizations about their goals and level of involvement with social media. The study will also look at the common types of social media used by Canadian non-profits, and will probe into some of the perceived challenges and opportunities they are facing in this new arena.

Please click on the link below for a direct link to the survey and please complete no later than Friday, November 20:

The survey process should take about 5 to 7 minutes of your time. Can’t finish the survey all at once? No problem! Just click on the link at a later point to be taken to where you left off.

The results will be available for you to pick up at the Association Resource Centre Booth #618 at the CSAE Showcase & Conference 2009 on Thursday November 26. If you aren’t able to come see us in person, we will be more than happy to send them to you by email following the conference.

Thank you for your participation in this important project - we can't wait to share the results with you!
