2006-2007 VRA PROFESSIONAL STATUS SURVEYPreliminary Results Delivered at 2007 VRA Conference, Kansas City
The PowerPoint slides included here were presented at the VRA Conference at Kansas City in March 2007. They reflect the raw data gathered by the 2006-2007 VRA Professional Status Survey and are subject to change with future analysis. Comparative data from previous surveys relevant to the visual resources profession has been included for comparison whenever possible throughout this presentation.
After a post-conference, post-spring semester hiatus the Professional Status Survey committee has resumed its work on the analysis and is currently in the process of making contact with a statistics professional. We will keep you informed of our activity as work progresses on this project. If you have questions regarding this data please feel free to contact either committee co-chair, Christine Hilker (chilker @ uark.edu) or Margaret Webster ([email protected]).
A big thank you to all of the members of the task force for their sustained and invaluable service in developing the survey. Co-Chairs:
