AGI-ESW 2009 Survey


October 11-17, 2009
2009 AGI-ESW Survey

Welcome!

This 9 question web survey is about your perceptions of the 2009 Earth Science Week (ESW). These questions are designed to help the American Geological Institute, which administers ESW, understand how the professional community participates in ESW and how that participation can be strengthened.

Your responses will go to PS International, an evaluation organization that is conducting this survey on behalf of AGI. Ten minutes of your time now will go a long way to help ESW grow effectively and successfully. Please respond by Friday, November 27, 2009.

Any materials you wish to share may be sent to AGI-ESW, 4220 King Street, Alexandria, VA 22302; fax (703) 379-7563; or email Info@earthsciweek.org. Thanks for your time in these busy days.
