<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I am re-posting this because I received a couple of e-mails from folks who tried to complete the survey and were advised that it had closed. I reset the survey clock, so it is open again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Secondly, nearly (100) responses have been collected so far (THANKS!), but I need more data to believe that the conclusions are truly representative of our industry. PLEASE share this as
widely as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Finally, the responses I have been getting are weighing in at nearly 3:1 Venue vs. Touring responses. I would like to see more input from Touring folks, unless this proportion is an accurate
representation of employment in Live Entertainment…so again, please share this and encourage folks to take ten minutes and share their thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Safety & Health Commission of USITT is developing a session for the 2017 Conference in St. Louis (March 8-11) that looks at how safety standards and regulations are sometimes interpreted
and enforced differently by venue and touring personnel- a reality that sometimes leads to what I will politely refer to as ‘enthusiastic’ conversations. The format for this session borrows liberally from the ‘Family Feud’ television gameshow, with Venue folks
and Tour folks facing off in a (hopefully) light-hearted competition. Those of you familiar with the show know that the host usually introduces a question by saying, “100 people surveyed, top 5 answers on the board…”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">This is where we need your help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Below is a link for a short 14-question survey. If your work is either primarily in a Presenting Venue or Touring, please take a few minutes and share your thoughts. Most answers are either
multiple-choice or can be answered with a single word- if this takes you more than ten minutes you are SERIOUSLY overthinking your answers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I will be posting this link to several lists/forums/groups that I belong to, so you may see this multiple times in multiple places. Please resist the temptation to respond more than once.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">If you are interested and available, the results will be shared in Safety & Health session #263: Not in MY House (scheduled for Saturday, March 11 at 11:00a)- please come and join us!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
