Greenwich Historical Society Survey

The Greenwich Historical Society recently received a $5,000 grant from the Connecticut Humanities Council for research to aid in marketing and communication planning. The project will explore public perceptions of the Historical Society’s core values as well as seek feedback on the types of programs that motivate membership and support. The resulting information will assist in the development of new activities, exhibitions and membership initiatives to better serve the community’s needs.

The project will also survey communications preferences, which will enable the Historical Society to develop more efficient communications and heighten both member and public awareness of its activities. It will also explore potential partnership initiatives with other local organizations that share overlapping membership.

Sponsorship International Research (SRi) of South Norwalk, aided in the development and design of the survey. The project comes in conjunction with implementation of a new logo and graphic image for the Historical Society to be unveiled later this spring, designed by creative director Angela Vecchio, a former resident of Greenwich. The new image was developed to reflect the Historical Society’s new mission statement, which focuses on a contemporary and broad-based approach that seeks to “inspire people to make personal connections with the past and use stories and objects from Greenwich to illuminate the American experience.”

Representatives from the Greenwich Historical Society will be administering the survey at public meetings and venues throughout Greenwich now through May and it will be sent to all members. It may be completed on line or in writing and should take about ten minutes to complete. Call 203-869-6899, Ext. 12 for more information. The only two requirements are that participants be Greenwich residents and over age 18.
