SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This form is a three-page questionnaire, 
principally in checklist form, designed to give SBA feedback from those 
who attend events which SBA cosponsors with other organizations. The 
form asks whether the event provided practical information which 
allowed them to manage their businesses more effectively and 
efficiently and gave them a good working knowledge of the subject. It 
asks whether the program was sufficient. It asks whether each speaker 
was well-organized, interesting, presented information at the 
appropriate level, and communicated well. It asks for suggestion for 
improvement, and for ideas for new topics.
    The form asks some demographic information so that SBA can better 
understand the Community which these events serve. Where the event 
relates to government contracting, it asks whether the respondent has 
taken advantage of various government contracting programs which SBA 
offers. SBA may also use this form to help evaluate programs which it 
conducts by itself. Responding to the questionnaire is entirely 
voluntary.
