Thanks to members who participated in the membership survey.
Here are some interesting highlights:

Of those responding:

• 50% consider themselves engaged philanthropists – they are committed to philanthropy, but also look to Impact100 to meet and interact with like-minded women.  27% consider themselves harried philanthropists who are busy, but willing to help where they can.  8% are silent philanthropists – members who are happy giving money but do not seek to network or actively participate

• The majority of those responding are interested in events that enable them to network/mingle with other members, but do not look to Impact100 to provide programming or activities that they can participate in elsewhere.  The vast majority would like happy hours, lunches or coffee events.

• 40% live in the city of Nashville; 40% live in southern suburbs such as Franklin, Green Hills, etc; and 20 % live in northeast suburbs like Gallatin, Hendersonville, Mt Juliet and Lebanon
