Division III Membership Surveys
Every five years, the Division III Governance staff, in collaboration with NCAA Research, distributes a membership-wide survey. The survey provides Division III institutions and conference offices an opportunity to express their opinions concerning the current and future policies and priorities of Division III. The responses assist the Presidents Council, Management Council, Strategic Planning and Finance Committee, and the other governance committees assess membership satisfaction with existing Division III principles, legislative standards, programs and services.
