In an effort to better understand the industry perception of the organization, WIN is seeking individuals from the industry to participate in focus group sessions during NACE. The WIN Board of Directors would like to understand how the group is perceived in the industry, particularly by male constituents. The organization’s goal is to make it easy for all industry constituent groups to understand and support WIN’s mission. To that end, Mike Anderson of Collision Advice, will facilitate back to back 75 minute sessions on Thursday October 17, 2013 at Mandalay Bay.

“I am honored and delighted to facilitate the WIN focus groups" said Anderson. "The participants’ feedback will give WIN great insight and provide ideas on how to expand its reach to a broader base."

A preliminary survey, found on the WIN website, must be completed in order to register to participate. The survey takes only 5 minutes to complete and is located on the WIN website or can be accessed here. Participants must attend NACE and be present at one of the two focus group sessions being held at 11 am and 12:30 pm on the 17^th. Refreshments will be available to participants. The survey must be completed by September 15^th and participants will be notified of their selection by September 30.

"Mike’s enthusiasm will draw out the key information that is vital to ensure that our programs are in alignment with the needs of our sponsors, members and the industry" explained Michelle Sullivan, co-ordinator of the Focus Groups.
