Many factors go into the make-up of the membership's monthly luncheon attendance performance data. Publishing the monthly % Attendance report figures for Year 2009 is a way to analyze the data to see if there is a correlation between the engaged speaker and the specific topics that they have chosen to speak on. However, on the other hand, it may not have a significant effect on attendance because of the speaker, or the the topic chosen for that particular month.
Listed below are eight months of the % of Attendance data for Year 2009:
Jan...68% Feb...70% Mar...66% Apr...63% May...0% Jun...62% July...54% Aug...61% Sept...60%
Oct...54% Nov...65% (Average 63%)
Year 2008 were:
Jan...57.0% Feb...65.7% Mar...64% Apr...68% May...0% (Remaining months N/A)
(Average 63.6%)
The two year comparison figures are very similar in monthly percentages , which makes it very difficult to reach any conclusions about the Speakers having any major or minor impact on the membership luncheon attendance report.
