Abstract
The New Zealand Association of Economists conducted a web-based survey in 2008. Respondents were recruited via email using the NZAE database of New Zealand economists. The responses (N = 180) provided information about these economists and their preferences regarding Association activities. Respondents were drawn fairly evenly from the government, university, and private sectors; 69% were NZAE members while 31% were not. They expressed a diversity of opinions regarding actual and potential Association activities. The annual conference received high marks, as did the journal. Respondents were also interested in web access to a calendar of events and academic publications.

Notes
1. There was some indication in the results of the factor analysis of a positivity factor, which simply raised all the responses a fraction.
