2025 AWPGA National Specialty Member Survey Results
Each year, the AWPGA works to make our National Specialty a rewarding and memorable experience for all who attend. Following the 2025 National Specialty in Lebanon, Tennessee, members were invited to share feedback through a post-event survey.
The goal of this survey was to better understand what worked well, where improvements can be made, and how we can continue to grow participation and enjoyment at future National Specialties.
From October 17–23, 2025, we received feedback from 31 members representing all regions of the country. Responses reflected a wide range of experiences — from first-time attendees to long-time participants — providing valuable insight into logistics, communication, hospitality, and overall satisfaction.
The results summarized below will help guide planning for the 2026 National Specialty in Dixon, California, ensuring that future events build on our successes while addressing areas for improvement.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to share your thoughts and suggestions — your input helps make the AWPGA National Specialty better every year.
Its not too late! You can still order National Merch!
