In December 2022, the IDL SIG conducted its biennial membership demographic survey. Approximately 13.9% of our membership base completed the survey – 47 out of 339 members (as of December 2022), an improvement from 8.2% during the 2020 survey. See the 2022 Membership Survey for complete results.
In a future article, we will briefly analyze the results for individual questions.

This report will be longer than normal since this will be my last Treasurer report. As most of you already know, I was elected this year as a Director on the STC Board and assumed my new role in late April during STC’s Annual Business Meeting. Since I’m now a Board member, I had to resign my position as Treasurer and my other volunteer roles within the IDL SIG and other communities.

Welcome to the last half of 2023. IDL SIG activity usually slows a little in summer, but we will host several social events. Before I discuss those, I will share my Summit 2023 feedback.
If you’re attending the Summit this week (13-18, May), please introduce yourself to Maralee Sautter, SIG Manager. Look for the IDL SIG logo on my name tag. I’ll be at the CAC table (sign up for the drawing), the CAC sessions, and attending sessions. I’ll be on Slack, so post your questions to the STC Slack workspace, #sig-instructional-design channel.
