I cannot make it due to a big family get together with out-of-town family members.

How we manage and effectively utilize data will be an important part of our future success. While there is more complexity than we can likely resolve via email, I want to just understand one think Mark said in his response.

The profile is even called NFB Fundraising—in case someone was under the misconception that this was simply just public outreach and awareness. So, what does “internally” mean. Although my quick note was more to understand what the plan was, I did mention the newsletter as one possibility. I think the key however is ultimately getting this data set to be part of the NFB’s unified database “internally.” It may mean that this data is identified in a particular way. However, we should be examining this data to understand what impact the survey has had. For example, how many of these email addresses are already in our system? If it is only 10% we have done a fabulous job of connecting new contacts with our organization. If it is 90%, we know we have a better job to do. However, that also gives us data that we can use.

>Most importantly, if we do not all agree that the “internally” is the National Federation of the Blind than I think we need to have a real serious discussion about what we are doing, who we are doing it for, and what organization is going to manage the data.

>Let me also say this is not the only place this discussion is happening. In the last three months we ran into a similar discussion about data and who could use it—when it was clearly data of the National Federation of the Blind.

>Thanks for continued engagement around these important issues. As I say, what we do with data is an extremely important thing for us to understand and plan for.

>So I tend to agree with Loraine. However, we could change the wording on the quiz, of offer an opt in/opt out on the newsletter.

>I do think the list of emails of people who have taken the quiz should be used to send an announcement when a new quiz is posted.

>> Ramona,

>> I have been meaning to ask
this question... what is happening with the info for the people taking the
quiz—email addresses? If we add that list to our enewsletter we might
convert some in the longer run to donors.
