I hope that we reach over 1,000 participants by the end of the survey -- which will run through October 31. Two of the seven names are neck and neck at the top, so every vote will count. Over 105 of the participants are adult learners; that's progress, but we could do better, I think. 49% so far are teachers, tutors or instructors; 37% are learning center administrators; 20% are staff developers. All parts of the country are represented, but the Midwest/Central and Northeast regions are best represented. 80% of the respondents, reflecting the makeup of our field, are female. If you would like to participate in choosing a name, the Web address of the survey is http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?LDMKBNPLXJWR5DGRT01VXF67 You can go to the Web page any time in October, 2000 and vote for these names. This will take only a minute or two. I hope you will spread this announcement as widely as possible to as many practitioners, adult learners and graduates as possible. Please note that the only way to have your vote counted is to go to http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?LDMKBNPLXJWR5DGRT01VXF67. It is not possible to count e-mail votes, past votes of any kind, or any other kinds of votes. I hope you will do everything possible to make sure as many adult learners and practitioners get access to the Web to participate in this survey. If, before you vote, you would like to read excerpts from a discussion about these names, they are archived at http://www.alri.org/namesurvey.html Some or all of these excerpts might be appropriate for discussion among colleagues or in classes before voting.
