Member satisfaction survey template and why asking each question is important.

Use our member satisfaction survey template as a base to create a really great and focused membership survey. Consider using these questions in varying formats or worded differently depending on the audience. For example, the survey as is would be useful to send to current members but you may want to ask the questions differently to your potential member database.
