Spertus Institute Survey and Focus Groups

Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership in coordination with the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, is conducting a survey of current and prospective participants in Chicago-area adult Jewish learning programs to gather feedback and to better serve the community. The survey deadline is January 11, 2016 and it can be accessed at:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NHP22RF

In addition to the information they are gathering through the survey responses, they will be holding 4 focus groups. The target audience is people who do not currently or only infrequently attend adult Jewish learning programs—in part because we believe that this segment of the population will be less likely to complete the survey and in part because we think a more open ended discussion with this group would be very informative.

Please recommend anyone who you think may be a good participant in one of these focus groups. Participants can register directly online for one focus group session as indicated below. The password for all registrations is focus2016. We will register no more than 15 participants in each session. Participants will receive $50 for participating and lunch or dinner (as well as $11 as parking reimbursement for the focus groups held at Spertus).
