« Reminder: RSVP for the December 15 Mind Opener | Main | The Citizens League is hiring: Membership Organizer »

The results are in!
The results from our Annual Meeting instant polling are now available here.
Some highlights:
Financing Minnesota's future, addressing the educational achievement gap, and increasing coverge for the uninsured were the top three policy topics chosen by meeting attendees. Handling the coming baby-boomer retirement bulge, a crowd suggestion, was also well-liked.
"Common ground for the common good" was both the most well-liked (35%) and least well-liked (18%) of the positioning statements.
Meeting attendees said clearly that the number one reason to join the League is the opportunity to influence policy. The number one barrier to joining is a lack of time.
Bad news: 59% of meeting attendees said that the League was too passive & too academic.
Good news: 91% agreed that the League is headed in the right direction.
Thanks for your input! If you couldn't make the annual meeting and want to comment on these findings, email us at info@citizensleague.net.
