DESCRIPTION
Partners In Torah knew all along that the experience is transformational. They just dd not have the data to confirm this presumption...until now.
Citation preview
For ten years, GE, AT&T,
GM, JP Morgan and a roll-
call of Fortune 500 companies
trusted Michael Cooper,
PhD., president, chairman and
CEO for ten years of Opinion
Research Corporation to
conduct their surveys,
and all, according to
Dr. Cooper, would clamor
to get results like
Partners in Torah did
from their recent poll of
participants.
When Dr. Cooper, currently
chairman of his own private
equity fund, authored and
conducted the 2005-2006 survey
for Partners in Torah, he found
that 94.08% of the participants
found satisfaction or extreme
satisfaction with the program.
Responses were gathered over
two months from 490 current
participants.
From the get-go, Partners in
Torah’s numbers impressed
Dr. Cooper. A startling 35% of
those 1392 polled, all via the
internet, took the time to
respond. In contrast, polls
from similar organizations
garner an average 12-15%
response rate. The “excellent”
response numbers alone demon-
strate participants’ “high identi-
fication with the program, high
favorableness and satisfaction,”
said Dr. Cooper. It shows what
Partners in Torah knew all
along; that the Partners in Torah
experience is transformational.
They just did not have the data
to confirm this presumption...
until now.➔
