DO NOT HIT REPLY TO RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE.

Earlier in the Fall, I offered the idea of a survey to determine the 
background and job positions of members of our list.  The notion was met with 
some enthusiasm, so here is my best effort.

Listed below you will find a number of nouns and adjectives.  Choose the 
words that BEST describe what you do PRIMARILY (most of the time), how much 
you do it, with whom you work,  and where.  Keep in mind I will tally the 
number of responses for each word.  Please don't worry about your official 
job title.  Job titles vary from place to place.  Be sure to read down the 
entire list.  Choose as many words as apply.  Also, please tell me the 
official title, spelled out, of your degree(s) and/or certification(s).  If 
you must add a word that is vital to communicate who you are and what you do, 
please do so, but please do not write a paragraph describing your job.  

Please respond in an email listing the words you have chosen DIRECTLY TO ME 
at dwyoho@aol.com.  DO NOT HIT REPLY.  I will tally the results and report 
them to the list.  

It will be helpful to me if you will include your name in your response.  I 
will not release this information.  But this will allow me to keep track of 
how many people answer the survey.

Here is a sample reply to illustrate, which are the words I pick for myself:

"Local, private, adult education agency, full-time, literacy professional, 
administrator, adults, seniors, children, Education Specialist degree (Ed.S) 
-Debbie Yoho" 

Doing this over the holidays will be good for some people, bad for those away 
from their computers.  Therefore, I shall post this message weekly through 
the end of January, in an attempt to assure that everyone has the chance to 
reply.  After you have responded, please ignore future repeated postings, 
with my apologies.

NIFL moderators will meet in Washington Jan. 30.  You might also take this 
opportunity to add any suggestions, complaints, praise, whatever concerning 
the list so that I can take that info with me to the meeting.  

Many thanks,  Debbie
