We invite you to help us evaluate our beta version of umsLOBBY.org, as well as determine what features might exist in its next iteration (Lobby 2.0).

By completing this survey in its entirety, you will be entered in a drawing for an Apple iPad WiFi (entry at end of survey).

Act fast!  The survey closes on July 15, 2010.
