9. Key ACC Building Blocks
INCREASE EMPHASIS
DOING GREAT
This is an importance/performance chart where we asked members to rate 26 different ACC attributes.  .  I have redone this chart (please see attached) to make it easier to discuss .  This chart depicts how those attributes rated in performance and importance as a contributor to ACC satisfaction.  While all of these attributes are important, some rise to the surface as stronger contributors to member satisfaction.   Those attributes in the green area represent items which receive a higher performance score and are more important to satisfaction.  Those attributes in red are areas in which the college does not perform as well on but is important.  The attributes in blue are areas where the ACC scored higher in performance but was less important to satisfaction and the areas in orange are less important and lower performance.
LESS IMPORTANT
EXPECTED
The ACC continues to do a good job of delivering important member benefits.

This chart illustrates how different ACC members segments rate the College on satisfaction and provides a historical perspective.  Clearly CV team members including administrators (they are identified as CCMA), FITs and early career members are most satisfied, followed by pediatric cardiologists, surgeons (designated with a TS) and women cardiologists (identify as WIC).  Fellows rate the ACC 3.75 on satisfaction with the College receiving its lowest ratings from interventionalists with a mean score of 3.61 out of a possible 5 points which is still pretty good.
