summary analysis of exit surveys

Participants at each of the summits were asked to fill out an exit survey before they went home. We asked them to rate both the quality of the work product for the evening and the quality of facilitation and to offer reasons for their ratings. We also asked for suggestions on how to make the meetings better in the future. Below is a summary of ratings and a content analysis of the written comments.
