  The Missouri Athletic Club’s Board needs your input. To help focus their efforts on the right priorities, the M.A.C. Board has begun a major strategic planning initiative, starting with a Member and Spouse Survey. This is the most important contribution you'll make to your Club all year, and it will only take 15 minutes of your time! The Missouri Athletic Club’s Member and Spouse Survey is being mailed to you this week. You should receive it in a few days. However, if you would rather take the survey online, you can do it right now! As an incentive for you to share your feedback, five $100 dining certificates will be awarded in a random drawing held after the Sept. 20 deadline. If you wish to participate in the drawing, please include your name and club number in the space provided at the end of the survey. (Attaching your name/number is optional, and not required to participate in the survey). |
