"This August, the Planning Commissioners Journal sent out a short questionnaire to planners and planning commissioners on our e-mail list. The survey was designed to supplement articles in our Fall issue focusing on planning board composition and diversity. We received an astonishing (to us) number of replies, hearing back from 242 of the 620 individuals we e-mailed. Bear in mind, however, that the results were not based on a statistically composed random sample. Nevertheless, we feel we learned much -- and came away with some surprises -- from the feedback we received."
