So, I am challenging all of you to put your money where your mouths have been. Time to step up to the plate. Money talks and bullsh*t walks.

I responded pledging to increase my donation by 100%. I also pledged to increase my donation to the College of Business by 100% if they go FBS.

My email did not contain a survey; instead it mentioned a 15 minute follow-up phone interview. Did anyone else get this message?

This is the one I got.

Duh me. I found the survey on FB.

This is a great tool for the university to gather data on whether people will actually step up and double the Duke Club giving as recommended by the Carr Report. It's my hope that people on this Board and the many others that are not on this Board will really focus on making a big move in individual giving. I believe this data will be used to extrapolate out what can be raised from our donors. The smart part was having people fill out their names and contact info. This will be used as a baseline for getting a pledge from you. I know that the Duke Club will ask everyone to do more than they say they will on this survey. We need to be aggressive if we move to FBS.

Done. I'm glad JMU created this survey. Two years late but if we land CUSA or MAC it comes out in the wash after an announcement.
