Purpose: Please reflect on the Rendezvous experience and let us know what worked and what needs improvement. Your input is valuable to us as we plan future Rendezvous events. We would like you to enter your name below, but your responses to this survey will be kept confidential. This will improve our ability to evaluate the program by allowing us to link information about your Rendezvous experience to your responses to other evaluation instruments. The evaluators will remove any name in association with survey responses and will then share aggregated verbatim comments from all participants' responses with the Rendezvous convener(s). We may use direct quotes to illustrate important points in project reports, professional publications, or conference presentations, as described in the Rendezvous evaluation, but when individual quotes are used, any identifying information will be removed to protect anonymity.
