1) Do you prefer being a SIG (Shared Interest Group)?

yes: 27.5%
no: 55.1%
need more information: 17.2% 

2)  Do you prefer independent status for the Association to date?

yes:  67.8%
no:  17.8%
need more information: 14.2%

The SIGers also re-chartered and changed the By-Laws.

Note: Both the NGCA and NGCCA were founded by Bill Stathakis; therefore, the NGCA has the original mission and intent the "original" NGGCA. -- Both surveys resulted in favoring independent status.

From 2014

A Facebook post from a female alum >>

"Today I received my UNG magazine and frankly it made me sad. Yes there were a few pictures and an article about the ROTC, however in the picture depicting students representing "the future", there were no ROTC students represented. None. It's like the emphasis is on a brand new school, new mascot, new majors, new campuses. I would have no problem with that if there was a recognition of our tradition. A Tradition that made North Georgia the college that has created leaders in our country. I don't understand why the powers that be can't honor the TRADITION of North Georgia as the school grows and changes. My children's high school successfully emphasizes and honors the tradition of what they were founded on as they have moved ahead with each generation. Larger universities than North Georgia are known for honoring their past and embracing the future. Why can't UNG do that? I have said for years that my fear was that the ROTC - the foundation of North Georgia - was at risk for being diluted. Today, based on that magazine, my concerns appear to be reality. The new UNG is just another liberal arts college in Georgia. Is is just me? Am I the only one who doesn't recognize this current institution?"
