Last year, the adhoc committee on area assembly did extensive research on how area assemblies are conduction in other areas in the united states, the results of which can be seen in the following documents.
Next, the committee sent the following survey to all groups in Area 47. We would love to hear your opinion. Please feel free to fill out a survey and snail mail to Adhoc Committee on Area Assembly, 15587 Rochester, NY 14615 or email to dcm0680@aacny.org.
Current results of the survey are surprising. There was a 19% participation rate, about twice a normal response rate which means many members in our area feel this is an important topic. Additionally, 66% or 2/3 rds of respondents requested some sort of change. 66% is Area 47's agreed level for substantial unanimity.
