Member Survey - We value your feedback!

The Membership Work Group has been behind the scenes working to make things happen for you! Recently the group has been hard at work discussing new ways to engage members and bring them the benefits they want. In order to do this, we have created a Member Survey to gather feedback on who you are, what you do, what benefits you currently use, those you don’t, and benefits you would like to have available. All of these questions are very important as they provide us with a glimpse into who our members are and how best to transform our membership to better serve you.

This survey will not only help move forward the work of the Membership Work Group, but our other groups as well. We’ve kept it brief and hope you will take the time to provide us with this information. And we’re giving away a gift card for the ACCT online merch store that’s coming soon!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Brittany via email at Brittany@acctinfo.org.
Take the Survey!
Join us for Open Office Hours this evening hosted by the Membership Work Group! We want to talk to you about membership and benefits, as well as the new Membership Survey that we put together. Click below to request to join!

Good Afternoon Stakeholders and Interested Parties,

​We would like to inform you that the Cal/OSHA’s Amusement Ride & Tramway Unit is seeking comments and suggestions on the drafts of the Permanent Amusement Ride Administrative Regulations and Technical Regulations (Safety Orders).

At this stage, they are in the informal process (steps 1.d./1.e.), and their intent is to address concerns with stakeholders before formally initiating the regulatory process. To facilitate this, they have also attached a spreadsheet for you to document your responses. The spreadsheet includes tabs for both Admin and Tech, where you can provide feedback on specific page numbers, code sections, suggested alternative language, rationale, comments, questions, and the name of the commenter if a discussion is needed.

Additionally, for your reference, please see the following links:

​They kindly ask all stakeholders and interested parties to submit completed comment sheets by Monday, December 16, 2024.
