MoisheNOLA: Surverying our Network

Moishe House New Orleans recently released a survey to the MoisheNola email list to gather data designed to assist our monthly event planning and outreach. We've found that these results have helped us to better communicate with our network, schedule events at times most convenient for attendance, and gauge the event types people are attending and interested in participating in.

Below are examples of the question types and responses we've received:










Many of our weekday events often pose a conflict for the MoisheNola network. Results from the question, 'what week days are most convenient for you?' found Tuesday was the most convenient weekday for 71% of those polled.










MoisheNola schedules a variety of event types on our monthly calendar. In an effort to assess the event types that our network is interested in we asked, "Of the event types at Moishe House, which are you most interested in participating?". Those polled were allowed to select multiple event types, and results were mixed: Social Events 67%, Jewish Events 44%, Speakers/Educational Events 56%, Community Volunteering 22%, Hobbies/Crafts 56%. We found these varied results to be encouraging of MoisheNola continuing to offer a variety of event types.










We were also interested in seeing which event types people had attended previously. Results found that 78% of those polled had attended a Social Event, and or a Jewish Event.











Question: Where do you currently get information about Moishe House events?

Results show our most useful outreach has been through personal emails before events, and via our MoisheNola Facebook group.

MoisheNola has found surveying to be an interesting and effective means of assessing our Moishe House network. For this particular survey we used google docs survey tool, we've also used Surveymonkey, and we highly recommend both. MoisheNOLA plans to continue using surveying as tool to be a more effective Moishe House and a more informed partner of our Jewish community.
