Leadership Council surveys

Throughout the year, Council members will be sent links to online surveys on important industry topics (up to two per quarter/eight per year). Designed by Council editors and/or sponsors, these surveys will generally take 15 minutes or less to complete.

Members will be informed by email and on the community website of the focus of surveys set to launch as well as the completion window for each survey (at least two weeks). Members will also receive occasional reminders about ongoing surveys via email and verbally during Council community meetings. 

Members will receive first access to survey results, as well as the opportunity to discuss findings and takeaways during membership calls. By participating in the Council, members grant HCPro and ACDIS permission to share aggregate survey responses, as well as individual contact information, with Council sponsors.

2023/2024 surveys

The second Council survey for the 2023/2024 term is open for responses until Monday, January 22, 2024: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2024-council-research-series

There will be approximately four surveys during the 2023/2024 term. To receive credit for surveys, make sure to follow these instructions:

  • Council members must use the link on this page or sent directly via email from Associate Editorial Director Linnea Archibald. 
  • Complete the contact information page on the first page of the survey so that we can track your responses and give you credit for the survey.

Learn how we share data with Council sponsors

By participating in the Council, you grant permission for ACDIS and HCPro to share certain information about you with Council sponsors.

More specifically, when you participate in a sponsored Council activity (e.g., a sponsored survey or a call covering findings from a sponsored survey), you grant ACDIS and HCPro permission to share the following details about you with the sponsor of said activity, as applicable:

Selected contact information (i.e., name, title, organization, physical address, email address, and phone number).

Aggregate/summary survey data: This information may include response breakdowns/trends corresponding to all survey participants and/or certain subgroups (e.g., directors, respondents from large organizations). It may also include comparative response information about certain subgroups (e.g., directors vs. managers, respondents from large vs. small organizations). Individual participant responses, however, will remain anonymous. This means that, unless ACDIS and HCPro receive your express permission, we will not send sponsors your individual responses to multiple-choice questions or grant them access to segmented data that could be used to identify these individual selections. We will also deidentify any write-in comments you submit as part of a survey response before sharing them with the sponsor.

Council call covering findings from a sponsored survey: A sponsor may be granted access to the following aspects of a call in which a survey they sponsored is discussed: the live call, the call recording, materials distributed as part of the call, and/or a list of Council members who attended the call (along with the selected contact information highlighted previously in this list).

This list is subject to change as the Council debuts new and enhanced opportunities for members in partnership with sponsors. We will notify Council members of updates as they occur.
