Letter sent to systers mailing list from Anita Borg

Dear Systers,

I have agreed to help the Santa Clara University, Center for Innovation &
Entrepreneurship and the Center for New Futures with a study into leadership
and management development requirements. In order to increase the
effectiveness and productivity of entrepreneurs, including systers members,
they need your help.

Part of this study involves gathering input from business professionals and
leaders on a wide range of issues and goals. Cheskin Research, a 50-year-old
research firm is doing this study gratis to support the goals of the Centers
and the women involved. We hope you can donate a few minutes of your time to
supply them with this much needed information.

It takes about 15 minutes to complete and you may win $500 in cash! Any
information you give will be kept strictly confidential and no one will try
to sell you anything as a result of your participation.

The folks doing the work are very reputable and I believe their word when they
promise your confidentiality.

If you want to share your inputs, just click

any questions regarding the survey please send an email to llin@cheskin.com.
They are also open to your forwarding this request to other associates-male or
female. All input is welcome.

Thanks in advance for contributing!

We will let you know where the survey results will be posted in
approximately two months.

Thanks,
Anita
