  1. The Houston Area Fuqua Alumni Club Spring 2009 Survey Results

  2. Value of the Survey • The Houston Area is the home of ~200 Fuqua Alumni • There has been no active Houston Area Fuqua Alumni Club in over a year The purpose of the survey is to provide insight on the level of interest in various Club Events, assisting the Leadership Team with scheduling activities that will encourage favorable participation levels.

  3. Demographics The survey opened in February 2009 and was delivered to 194 Houston Area Fuqua Alumni and Current Students. Results were collected from 39 submissions – a 20% response rate. The data collected is assumed to be an appropriate representation of the Fuqua Alumni in the Houston area. Makeup by Gender Makeup by Age Group Makeup by MBA Program Makeup by Graduation Class

  4. Preferences: Event Type Of those responding, 90% are definitely interested in participating in Alumni Events. Guest Speakers / Networking and Game Watchings / Happy Hours / Dinners are the most preferred, with strong interest in other types of group activities. Interest in Partner Events

  5. Preferences: Event Timing Although the Houston Alumni do not appear to have an overwhelming preference for a specific day of the week, Quarterly and Monthly events will most likely have the best turnouts. Frequency Preference Weekday Preference Preferred Weekday Time Weekend Preference Preferred Weekend Time

  6. Preferences: Event Locations Based on geographic preferences, the Leadership Team will aim to host events in locations that will encourage the most participation. Rank of Preferred Areas: • Galleria / Uptown • Downtown / Midtown • Rice / Museum District / Montrose • Other Areas Inside the Loop • Outside the Loop

  7. Event Funding Although most Fuqua Alumni events will not require a participation fee or will be “pay-as-you-go”, for some special events the club may need additional funding to support charges relating to speaker fees, location and/or supply rental. Though the overall consensus of the Houston Alumni is that event fees are suitable depending on the event type, the obvious preference is to keep the charges under $20.

  8. Next Steps The Houston Area Fuqua Alumni Leadership Team will be using this feedback to develop a Club Calendar for the rest of 2009. Please look for more information soon, as well as the next scheduled Houston Area Fuqua Alumni Club Event!
