20 What did You Tell Us in the 2011 Member and Primary Rep Survey? OVERVIEW Education and certification programs are broadly valued Communication is key, both vendor neutral peer networking and connecting with members Events are important, but balance attention with standards and other marketing work Standards, technical work and compliance each member values different things

21 What did You Tell Us in the 2011 Member and Primary Rep Survey? Education and Certification Programs Education is evaluated as bright spot in general as an import thing that SNIA is doing well with overall. Suggestions for improvement included: - Refresh content and succeed with CompTIA alliance - Add new credentials such as Storage Security - target outside of storage industry insiders Communication - Social networking Popular responses to multiple questions summarized: - SNIA should embrace and utilize all aspects - Viewed an importing to improve our position in the industry

25 Summary 2011 was a year of sustained financial prudence and performance. The SNIA staff and operations reorganization of 2009 aligned the expense and contributions of resources with a predictable and manageable contributions from member fees and event revenue. SNIA Staff had no attrition and we added three key Contractors 2011 was an important year as SNIA continued to pursue its strategic programs to reinforce the value of linking core storage technologies and standards with upper layers of management functions for data and information CSI, GSI, SSSI, SMI 2012 will present interesting opportunities and challenges (for SNIA and the storage market). However, the still sensitive economic situation mandates that we continue to carefully apply our resources to our priorities. Finally We could not do the work of the SNIA without our passionate and dedicated volunteers, some of whom will be specially recognized at our January Symposium in San Jose The support and loyalty of all SNIA members and volunteers is appreciated
