Dues Renewal Notices - Second Mailing in December

Membership for 2009 expires on 12/31/09. Annual dues renewals were mailed in October and generated a healthy 40% response. The second notice will mail the week of 12/1. Please note that, because there is a lag time associated with checks submitted (due to our clearinghouse), some members will receive a second notice, which they should ignore.

 
Results of IRWA Name Survey

Earlier this month, IRWA conducted a survey to gauge the perception of our name among members. The survey generated an impressive 1,965 responses. Here are the results:

Keep the Name: Yes = 66% (No = 9%; neutral = 25%)

Shorten the Name: Yes = 29% (No = 39%; neutral = 32%)

Change the Name: Yes = 14% (No = 59%; neutral = 27%)

The response was overwhelmingly clear.... keep the IRWA name! In the coming weeks, we will conduct a follow-up survey on updated logo designs. Watch for it...
